That book is the best thing he's written since the 80s.
EDIT: Come to think of it, the writing in Skeleton Crew stands out in my mind as quite literally the most absorbing I have ever encountered. If I bring it into the bathroom, I end up with a ring on my tuchis.
EDIT 2: I found a pdf of On Writing last night, and stayed up until 5:30 am, reading. The guy is a master of holding my attention.
The single best piece of advice he gives is to get a room with a door, one that locks. It's made a huge difference in my writing.
