Matthew Brown replied to the topic How many chapters should a book have? in the forum A QnA for aspiring authors 2 years, 5 months ago
I’d pretty much agree with Sarah. I’m a great believer in a book should have as many chapters as it needs to that does not mean I am correct, though.

Blog: Hi Mr Gaiman, good morning/afternoon/eveing/night (depending on when you are reading this). I have been a fan of Coraline since I was fairly young, and recently re-read it. I then came across a theory on the internet that the tunnel between the little door and the other side is the throat of a huge monster or creature, and that’s why it sometimes feels warm or can retract and expand. I was curious so I thought I’d ask, was this intended to be an interpretation or is this just one idea that’s out there? Okay, thank you for reading. 🙂 from

Blog: Hi Neil!! I’ve asked this before but I’m pretty sure it must have been lost in a sea of questions so I’ll try again. I am a massive Queen fan and having their songs in Series 1 of Good Omens was probably what made me love the show so much. I was wondering if we’d be blessed enough to hear their songs in Series 2 as well? from
Neil Gaiman in the group Fans of Neil Gaiman 2 years, 5 months agoI’m pretty sure I’ve already answered that one. As much as I have answered anything to do with Season 2 content, anyway.
