Thanks to Russell Davies the Staufenberger Repository has published Stephen King’s 1974 JWT Planning Guide, along with a vintage Jeremy Bullmore speech.
They’ve already said how relevant this stuff is now, and far better than I ever could. It’s refreshing to be reminded how important experience is though. We all seem so ready to worship the fresh, untainted ideas of youth, but we’re less willing to get some balance from listening to grumpier older people as well.
It’s a shame since they could help us avoiding rushing off and doing something really dumb. Ironic since one day we’ll all get older and say, "If only I knew then what I know now".
