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?

The same way we’ve done it for thousands of years.

In the margins. I do it the same way. You can control how much you put on a page after all.

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?

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.

@@christopherhamilton3621 True, about favourite writers/etc. Awful re the recent allegations about Gaiman though. Beyond disapointing. There seems to be no meaning, magic or wisdom left in the books
