1974, 1975, 1977, 1977, 1978, 1978, 1979, 1980, 1981, 1981, 1981, 1982, 1982, 1982, 1982, 1983, 1983, 1984, 1984, 1985, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1987, 1987, 1987, 1989, 1990, 1990.
This morning I found a notecard which had these dates on it. These are Stephen King’s pub dates from 1974 (his first novel) to 1990. I wrote these down in my mid-twenties as a motivation to get writing. To get going. That shows just a little of how starry-eyed I can be when it comes to my own writing goals and ambitions. A lot of people would have told me to focus in on getting ONE book published, let alone thirty.
Oh, well. I never listen to anybody anyway.
