#210 Stephen King On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft

Transcribed with NVIDIA Parakeet · Timestamps stay in sync with the live audio

What is writing? Telepathy, of course. My name is Steven King. I'm writing the first draft of this part on my desk on a snowy morning in December of nineteen ninety seven. There are things on my mind.

Summer worries. Some are good things. But right now. All that stuff is up top. I'm in another place.

This book is scheduled to be published in the late summer or early fall of two thousand. If that's how things work out. Then you are somewhere downstream on the timeline for me. But you're quite likely in your own far seeing place. The one where you go to receive telepathic messages.

That is the first couple of minutes. The rest is $1.49.
