I made a ton of progress by following King's hard-nosed work ethic for several months. I don't think I can write my best work that rapidly but it was really good practice and I'm glad he convinced me to do it.

That chapter where King just shits on the guy who ran him over with a van was dank as fuck.

Haha yeah he's bitter as hell, even includes the guy's name

Bump. There is a similar form about writing going atm and On Writing was brought up. Dual threads might produce different pathways for perfecting the craft of literature.

So which is it? I've written some stuff but scraped most of the shit. How do I stick with an idea past the boredom point?

Pick ideas that are unlikely to bore you? Subject matter is massive when it comes to keeping driven.

King's book about writing is good enough. Basically, says...
>write, write, write
>strip away anything and everything unnecessary
