I'm sure the book is good and has some great advice in it, but I don't agree that everything any writer says about the process of writing works for every writer. Anyone who says they can make muses punch a clock is either lying or doesn't have muses. And I work with muses. I work when they say it's time, or I don't write at all. That is my personal definition of writer's block.

I know that different words convey different meanings; that's what the thesaurus is for. Because sometimes, your brain gives you 'surprised' when you know you mean something else, and no matter how hard you try, the brainfart keeps you from getting it. Enter the helpful thesaurus. Ah, stunned! That's what I meant! If people abuse that tool, it's not the tool's fault. What King should be saying is stop using a tool when it becomes a crutch; if it's helpful for you, keep it.
