Today’s read pages 141-155, new chapter “On Writing “ sections 1-2
I’ve never been a stranger to clairvoyance. It seems my choice to bite this little learning challenge into 10 page bites was just that. When writing Mr. King writes 2000 words a day or about 10 pages. You have my permission to call me Carnac if you wish.
However Stephen King reads much more than 10 pages of other people’s works a day. He considers himself a slow reader. He averages 70-80 books a year. He reads mostly fiction. He believes that if one doesn’t have time to read, then one doesn’t have time to write. Reading others prose “creates an ease and intimacy with the process of writing.” I take that to mean reading can refine one’s style, sharpen one’s skills and strengthen one’s passion.
Read daily, write daily. It must be your passion, your playtime.
Turn off your TV.
Fearsome Beard 
I turned off the tv in 1999. and the carnac sketches were always the best.
I sometimes wonder why I have over 100 channels and there is nothing really worth my time. Just background noise to fall asleep to.
