I can’t believe I didn’t read this book sooner. I’m not even up to the part where he starts to give writing advice yet, but I’m already feeling inspired to write my own stories again. Stephen King had an interesting blue-collar life before he became the most famous American writer of the last 50ish years. He met his wife at a poetry club in college. Too bad my college only had boring ass science nerd clubs.

Hard to believe that back in the 50s and 60s you could just write a short story, send it to a magazine, and hope they paid you for it and published it. The internet was a mistake. Capitalism was a mistake. Starting this book was definitely not a mistake.

Oh yeah, now this is exactly what I needed I think. Love how it has started, with King telling stories from his own childhood. I can certainly see how his upbringing inspired his books. It’s been too long since I read a King book, glad im rectifying that.
