Writing came so easily to me, and I could write for hours on end about anything in the entire world. After second grade ended, I didn't stop writing. I continued to compose wild stories about my friends and family going on extreme adventures.

The perks of being a wallflower is written by Stephen Chbosky and is a young adult literature epistolary novel. It took me about 2 weeks to read it, which is quite long for me because I usually read books quite fast. The book has also been released as a motion picture, under the same name. The idea of the name for the book came after Chbosky experienced a bad breakup, and went through a rough time. He questioned why such good people let themselves get treated so badly, and then he realised that “that 's just one of the perks of being a wallflower”.

Here the author states that the stories in “The View from Castle Rock” differ from other stories since she attempts to write about herself in these stories. Therefore, they seem to head towards factual life-writing, but the author sharply draws a distinction between the story and memoir, since the “centering on her self” let her create figures and stories that are independent of her intention.
