Neil Gaiman discusses his love of myths, his favourite Norse goddess and how tone of voice became a particular challenge to overcome when writing Norse Mythology.
Since i don't believe, from the very beginning of childhood when I started reading books, in more than one true God, mythology and the legendary tales of ghosts and such other supernatural beings have no interest for me. But as a writer i like to indulge in imaginary worlds where demons and angels influence the lives of rulers and commoners. My interest in a fantasy story is concerned with man and how he conquers against such powerful supernatural forces. One strange thing about my writing a fantasy novel is still amazing me. I happened upon an old movie that has some characters and instances with more than similar aspects of what I created for my novel. I never saw that movie before I wrote my story and this still makes me awed by the quirkiness of such thing. A writer's life is full of this strangeness i think this somewhat makes me write more and more.
The audiobook for Norse Gods was SO GOOD.
