Date: September 7th, 2025 6:05 PM Author: Jade Marketing Idea Pit One kid thought he could do the long walk and win just by walking of course and by occasionally eating olives from a jar he had brought along. He thought the olives would give him super special energy. Decades later I remember that dumb detail.
I liked the story at the time and sort of broke it down into its constituent parts because it was a simple short story style model to follow for my own short stories which I used to write a lot of as a kid. This was what maybe 1988, 89?
I guess this recollection etc is evidence of my assumed 140s iq who knows. |

Date: September 15th, 2025 10:21 PM Author: JunkoEnoshima I dislike Stephen King. I don't like his stupid little mantras, I don't like how every minor character is either a religious fanatic or a racist, I don't like how he's clearly an aspiring screenplay writer forced to work as a novelist for some reason, I don't like how he tries so hard to be "realistic" his stories become grotesque, with the farting and the gross food and how every time someone falls down they break a bone. I liked The Eyes of the Dragon, the novel where Stephen King is trying to be someone other than Stephen King. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5770733&forum_id=2Elisa#49273404) |
