    Neil Gaiman, man, what an inspiration. I remember reading the first volume of the Sandman and being floored by its brilliance. Still my all-time favorite stories. Then, I started branching out. I read Coraline, Good Omens, American Gods. I'm reading his anthology books now. I used to see how many books a certain author had put out and got overwhelmed. Neil was the first author that, upon seeing his long list of works, made me excited that I get to read these stories for the first time. Genuinely one of the greats and my all-time favorite author!

    i was here at the talk and had the opportunity to attend a class of sorts with neil gaimen and it was an AMAZING experience. it got me out of a bad case of writers block and was probably the highlight of my whole life, got a signed book aswell as a dedication and have been thinking a bit too much about the term ‘sweet dreams’ ever since

    I would genuinely love to know how he manages writing a text long hand with ink pen on paper and a journal and how he manages notes while he writes, said manuscript. is there a separate smaller journal for those types of things? Or how does he keep track of ideas for additional works?

    I really enjoy Neil Gaiman's books. But I've started coming across opinions that he's overrated? I have such an emotional connection to his work, that I can't totally understand the negative perspectives?

      @adityagautam2581 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      I doubt there’s any artist about whom you can’t find similar “opinions”. It’s usually just some people’s way of feeling cooler than the cool people.

      @@adityagautam2581 No, very true. Or, this thing is different to what I'm usually interested in. I think Neil Gaiman is a very talented writer, irrespective of if I enjoy his work, or not. I'm in the enjoy camp!

      Oh ignore them: it’s some combination of (1) jealousy, (2) projection & nonsense where some conservative is triggered by something and (3) small mindedness of some sort or another.
