I come to ask a question that I’ve been turning over in my mind a lot lately- I am an English major and plan on pursuing Journalism as a full time job. That is neither here nor there, but I’ve found myself in an odd space with writing recently. See I have never written anything that was not non-fiction in my 23 years of life. Be it either personal narratives or reporting, I’ve never made anything up. But as of late I have been taken up with Fantasy books, and have begun to adore how they communicate real life problems through the lens of the magical, and find myself thinking, “I wonder if I could do that”
Do you think someone that never considered themselves a “writer” or “story teller” growing up, can become one? I find myself trying to write little stories to myself and they just end up feeling like gibberish… I don’t know if I’m cut out for the style of writing and I fear its because I’ve started so late in my writing adventure.
Can reporters write fiction?
Thanks for all you do and writing stories I can find myself in < 3 from

Blog: Hi Mr Gaiman, I have a question about The Sandman. In the comics, Lucifer goes to hang out on a beach in Perth, WA. It’s a scene I love a lot because I come from there and our sunsets are incredible. Was there a reason you chose to have that scene in Perth? And do you think if you have that scene in season two of the Netflix show, you would still have (or pretend) it’s set in Perth? We are having a movie filmed in Gosnells and everyone is calling it Gos Vegas now so people would lose their minds if we got a shout out. Hope you’re having a nice day from
