Stephen King Response

I wasn't that surprised to see that vocabulary was the first "tool" of writing and grammar was the second, however i was surprised as to what he said about vocabulary. I though it was important to try and choose your vocabulary depending on your audience. He said the first word is always the better word. After i thought about it i found it to be true. Because usually when i write and i change the word i always go back and put the first word because i liked it better. But i guess it all depends on your audience. One more thing i found surprising was that King said paragraphs were more important than sentences. I thought that without good sentences the paragraph couldn't work.
