My theory on genre is that while there are people out there who believe that genre tells people what to read, actually I believe that genre exists as a marketing tool to tell you what to avoid.

Why do I have this imagination? It's the only one I've got!
Neil Gaiman
Image
Recounting the strange is like telling one's dreams: one can communicate the events of a dream, but not the emotional content, the way that a dream can colour one's entire day.
Neil Gaiman
Image
American Gods was designed to be if not open-ended, at least a trilogy kind of shape, so there's definitely one more book, probably another couple of books there to get written.

Face your life, its pain, its pleasure, leave no path untaken.

I lost some time once. It's always in the last place you look for it.

However you must have sensed a lurking 'but' skulking beneath my happy, blithe, and chipper exterior. A minuscule vexation, like the teeniest lump of raw liver sticking to the inside of my boot.

I don't think I'm mainstream. I think what I am is lots and lots of different cults. And when you get lots and lots of small groups who like you a lot, they add up to a big group without ever actually becoming mainstream.
Neil Gaiman
Image
I will be a wise and tolerant monarch, dispencing justice fairly, and only setting nightmares to rip out the winds of the evil and the wicked. Or just anybody that I don't like.
Neil Gaiman
Image
Read the books you love, tell people about authors you like, and don’t worry about it.
Neil Gaiman
Image
We often confuse what we wish for with what is.
Neil Gaiman

The biggest pitfall to avoid is not writing. Not writing is really, really easy to do, especially if you're a young writer. The hope that elves will come in the night and finish it for you, is a very common one to have. That is my main recommendation - you have to write, and you have to finish what you write and beyond that, it's all detail.

Books were safer than other people anyway.

Biting's excellent. It's like kissing - only there is a winner.

The moonlight was enough. It would do.

For a moment he thought she was about to hit him, which would have been bad, or even start crying, which would have been much, much worse.

The problems with success, frankly, are infinitely preferable to the problems of failure.
