Blog: Dear Mr Gaiman Apologies for all of these questions! And thank you for answering the last one, it was a lifesaver. And if you’ve already answered this, then don’t worry about it. I’m stuck in the midst of an awful writer’s block right now. I hate everything that I write, feel a bit like a failure and generally feel miserable, tired and depressed and it isn’t just the writing. I have to write a short story for an assessment task and I’m just stuck and ready to cry. So I suppose my question is, how do you work yourself out of a writer’s block, stuck with a deadline that creeps closer with a rather manic (and canine) grin (perhaps holding a candle to Pennywise’s smirk?) and you’re stuck in a dumb rut? Thanks! from
Neil Gaiman in the group Fans of Neil Gaiman 2 years, 8 months agoDon’t write it to make yourself happy. Write it to write it. Start writing and head for the end.

Blog: What made Aziraphale decide to open a bookshop and stick with it for so long, whilst Crowley constantly changes what he’s interested in? from
Neil Gaiman in the group Fans of Neil Gaiman 2 years, 8 months agoThe same impulse that makes Crowley get new hairstyles wherever feasible and means that Aziraphale’s hair is basically what he wore on the wall.

Blog: Just found out that there’s a campaign afoot to ask the US Postal Service to issue a set of commemorative stamps for Edward Gorey’s 100th birthday in 2025. Apparently it takes a full three years for such requests to go through the approval process. People have to write real letters on actual paper to nominate. I figure your American fanbase would be fertile ground for raising support, so please consider this request for a signal boost. Details on how to participate are found here: https://edwardgorey.org/2022/02/22/edward-gorey-centennial-postage-stamp-campaign/ from
