From Neil Gaiman's Journal: Why write?

Neil Gaiman - Neil Gaiman's Journal: Why write?

Mostly I'm just testing out this Google/Blogger/ Send it to my blog feature. Now that I have a fancy computer with Vista and all kinds of gadgets to keep me too preoccupied to write, that is.(Play PacMan on your desktop and Blackjack on your homepage! GASP!)

But I spend a lot of time trying to explain to the norms why I live in my own head and spend my time writing. The master Neil Gaiman sums it up better than I could ever hope to. Not that I've ever made it to the end of something. Yet.

HA! Now I actually feel confident that we WILL get to the end of Kat's story, eventually. Even if I only get two to ten pages a week, we'll get there. I have faith. And a lot of extra characters who want attention now that someone is musing.

Speaking of all that, I really need to get back to working on the story.

What I'm writing: Kat, as always. We're up to Chapter 13 in which Kat must devise a plan to escape a creepy sandcastle and also Las Vegas. Not the one with Josh Duhamel lmao.

What I'm reading: The Book of Joby, by someone named Ferrari of all things. Think... Memnoch without all the vampire drama, Gibbs as Lucifer, Cris and Zack being completely adorable and doing a scary good job of playing themselves (Gabriel and Michael, respectively), and a completely adorable little boy who has God all mixed up with King Arthur. Well, that's the beginning anyway. I really love this book, we may have to do a book report someday in the future.

What we're listening to: MCR, with a side of Muse to get the story kicking for the day.

ummm that's all, shoo everyone so we can get to work or something.
