Hey man, just wanted to say The Black Swan had a big role in shaping my thought as a young man. That part with the ballerinas masturbating was pretty hot, too.

Guy who posted it reporting in. It's a fun read and may give you a little insight into how much writing may demand from you. It's a little disheartening to see that King put in so much time from such a young age and is still pretty much a hack all around. Some of the advice is bad, as other posters have pointed out. King's novels are known for rambling later on, and having weak endings, which makes sense when he advises you not to plot anything out. All told, it's a memoir worth reading of a hard-working man doing the best he can in the arts.

The best part is near the end when he just voices his butthurt about getting ran the fuck over by a van while walking down the side of a rural road, probably coked up or drunk. He calls out the guy who hit him by name and castigates the state of Maine for letting him regain his drivers license.

If you can't get into a good enough school that your liberal arts degree will get you a job you're one of the people who shouldn't be in university in the first place.

Sorry man, the only way to git gud at handling women you want to sleep with is to sleep with enough women that it stops seeming like a big deal. Until then you're going to be playing against the odds by spitting weak game at girls hoping one will like you and you won't fuck it up. Strong game is born of experience and nonchalance.

Why do you want a suicidally depressed, TV-addicted pothead with self-esteem issues sufficient to power brilliant academic and athletic careers out of sheer insecurity as your mentor?
