A Bridge of Ideas
You've unknowingly drawn a powerful parallel between Stephen King's pragmatic approach to the craft of writing in 'On Writing' and the meticulously constructed, deeply embedded mythology of 'The Lord of the Rings'. Both books, despite their vastly different genres, reveal a profound respect for the architectonic power of world-building and the foundational principles required to sustain immersive realities – King dissecting the scaffolding of narrative itself, and Tolkien living it through the very fabric of Middle-earth.
