Summary: An article on Hospitality Net tells how Stephen King's 'On Writing' led a travel industry professional to build a daily writing habit and publish his first book. The lesson is clear for anyone in travel.

## Article

Some people leave a revenue management conference with a new spreadsheet. Others leave with a published book. That is what happened to a hospitality professional who tells his story on [Hospitality Net](https://www.hospitalitynet.org/opinion/4134348/me-and-stephen-king): he read Stephen King's 'On Writing', took the master of horror's advice seriously and started writing every day. No excuses, no waiting for the perfect idea. The result was his first book.

There is a lesson here for anyone working in travel. This industry spends all day generating content: hotel listings, destination descriptions, LinkedIn posts about revenue, OTA newsletters. But writing properly, with judgement and consistency, is a different game. The article makes a point I share: habit beats talent. Those who write every day end up publishing. Those who wait for inspiration keep waiting.

At a time when airlines and hotels fight for attention on every channel, knowing how to tell your story well is a real competitive edge. You do not need to be Stephen King. You need to sit down and write. At least a little, every day.
