neil-gaiman: Actually I suspect you can skip the first 8 if you just do the last one. It’s so nice to hear an author say this. I know people who buy into this idea that being an asshole and fucking up your life are requirements for being a writer, but I honestly don’t think it makes you a more interesting person, and definitely not a better writer. You might be an interesting person and/or a good writer in spite of the debauchery and demons, but never because of it.
