“Amateurs sit and wait for inspiration, the rest of us just get up and go to work.”
Class is back in session at The University of Orono-Maine, where the Losers are still under the tutelage of Stephen King. Needless to say, their hands hurt from taking so many notes.
In the second of two episodes dedicated to King’s 2000 treatise On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft, the Losers cut to the chase and weigh in on King’s tools of the trade. Together, they debate on the pros and cons of his advice, meditate on the emotional closing section involving his 1999 accident, and grade the memoir with bright, red Pennywise clown noses.
(Note: You can find the first episode in this series here.)
Stream the episode below and return next week when the Losers return to The Overlook Hotel for a deep dive into Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining with Host writer/producer Jed Shepherd. For further adventures, join the Losers’ Club over long days and pleasant nights via Apple Podcasts, Spotify, RadioPublic, Acast, Google Podcasts, and RSS.
