Taking for his title Samuel Johnson's observation that "no man but a blockhead ever wrote except for money," King describes his experiences as a freelance writer. He recounts the pleasures and perils of freelance journalism, from the euphoria of his first book contract to the misery of actually having to finish the book; and from his glorious days at Harper's to the desperation of pay-the-rent labor. In the section called "Random Jottings From a Writer's Notebook," he offers reflections on the private and public torments of a writer's life. He includes anecdotal meditations on plagiarism, writers' inhumanity to other writers, and the glimpsing of one's own doom in the fates of older literary heroes. ISBN 0-670-80928-4 : $17.95.

It includes an insight into the economics and financial aspects of the publishing industry in
the United States of America. It describes the struggles to balance between sending one's
personal message and marketing one's own art, retaining privacy of your subjects while
highlighting their uniqueness that makes them interesting and of significance, and to appeal to
the consumer market while retaining some of your ideologies. To whom do you want to appeal, and
are you reporting truth or telling tales? ( )
