Your Toolbox

Having your own toolbox is a great way to describe how every writer should write to the best of their abilities. Stephen King gives some great examples of some authors/writers who have a well put together toolbox and some that don't. Just because if someone has a huge vocabulary doesn't mean they're a good writer because when they use all these long words in their writings, no one knows what the heck they are talking about. He tells us to use simple vocabulary because not only will people like it more but they can follow and understand it more. I like how he puts all this into perspective because he pretty much says that everyone can write no matter how smart or well educated you are, it just depends on what all you have in your toolbox.
