   Hello writers! Today I am going to summarize the most important tips that Charlie P. has told us on her blog article and why she thinks blogging is usefull. At first, she said that blogging helps her to reflect her feelings and success on the past and present and to plan her new movements. Also, she said that blogging is better than writing a diary because when you know people are going to see it, you write as well as you can. She said that it isn't important about what subject you write if it helps you process your ideas and discover new ones. She talked about comments on her blog posts and how this boosts her confidence and make her continue writing without any important disadvantages.

   In my opinion, blogging is a good way to express the feelings, but, under my point of view, the bad comments would make you dessist and stop writing. So my advice would be to start writing a blog but with the comments out before you start to be sure about your writing and your blog.

BIOGRAPHY

At first, I'm going to talk about his biography. He has borned the 21st September 1947 on Portland, Maine.

FAMILY

When he was two years old, his father gave her mother alone with the two boys: David and Stephen. She carried them to Fort Wayne. We actually know that his father was Donald King. His mother was Nellie Ruth Pillsbury. His old brother is David who is a chemistry professor on University. His wife is Tabitha King who is a novelist who met Stephen when he was studying at university. They had three kids: Joe Hill King(is an author who usually writes comic books), Owen King (who is an author too) and Naomi King (who is a minister of Unitarian Universalist Church of River of Grass).

CHILDHOOD AND STUDIES

He studied on the different places where he was living, but, when his family finally gets stablished on Durham, Maine (and he was eleven), he started to study at Lisbon Falls High School in which he graduated on 1966. Then, he studied an english career on University of Maine of Oronto in which he graduated on 1970. On this period of time, he jointed to a politic group of students called Student Senate which made an antimilitar movement versus Vietnam war.

His first works were a guard on a factory, a lauvendry work and, finally, his actual job, english teacher.

When he was a child, he loved terror history like Dracula, which made him get inspired for future works.
