Conclusion

In conclusion, to quote Stephen King in On Writing (2000:134), “The object of fiction (and may I add, nonfiction) isn’t grammatical correctness, but to make the reader welcome and then tell a story...to make him/her forget, whenever possible, that he/she is reading a story at all.” My goal in writing this paper was not only to share with you the secrets of good writing, but to show you how essential writing is for your career and metaphysics as a whole. I hope I have convinced you to begin practicing your writing skills now, while you’re in school, for use later.

Writing can be a frustrating and frightening practice but it can also be rewarding and exciting. What is more basic to our lives as human beings than the ability to communicate? Especially as metaphysical practitioners, we depend on our capacity to transmit wisdom and knowledge. In a world racked with war, illness and inequality, writing can make all the difference by spreading love and joy and the principles of metaphysics to those who are looking for light and love.

In Stephen King On Writing, the secret to writing a story is told. It is to practice writing skill with love joy and knowledge and wisdom. As a metaphysical writer your love light can be channeled into your metaphysical book.
