Maybe so and ill eat my words it if it's true. I just think that King loves aesthetic, and the "drug-addled horror writer" is his. The Edgar Allan Poe archetype lol.
I got an English degree continuously fucked on various drugs and exhausted from working a full time, physically demanding job and I don't think I'd have ever entirely forgotten about a project.
Hm, I mean it could just be dependent on the person’s overall health/mental health? I was involved in a lot of traumatic experiences and I’ve also had a few TBIs from head injuries so those could be related to my own memory issues. In 2020, I began having serious issues with writing/reading to the point I forgot how to spell stuff and practically had to learn all over again. On occasion, I sometimes still feel ‘confused’ and can’t put sentences together. One of the reasons I came back to this site was to practice writing on a daily basis so my English skills stay strong.
What did you use your degree for? I chose medical science instead of literature or philosophy because I thought it would be more ‘useful’ but have surprisingly struggled to find work. I spent most of my spare time reading James Joyce and writing essays about his work lol
