The Glamorous Life of a Writer (Spoiler: It’s Mostly Snacks and Existential Crises)
Ah, the writer’s life. People think it’s all vintage typewriters, bookshelves overflowing with all the classics, and sipping overpriced coffee while typing profound thoughts that will someday change the world. Let me tell you the truth. It’s mostly staring at a blinking cursor while wondering if “the” is really the right word. Morning Routine: The Fantasy vs. Reality Fantasy: Wake up at 6 a.m., do yoga, make a green smoothie, then write 2,000 brilliant words by noon.

Notes From An Evening With Neil Gaiman
Okay, if you ever have the chance to see and hear Neil Gaiman in person, I highly recommend it.

While the auditorium was too dark for me to take notes with pen and paper, and I didn’t want to disrupt others around me by using my phone, what I am sharing here is what I took away from his talk, from my memory and not verbatim.
