For all young - and old - writers, wherever you are, watch this. Neil Gaiman has it down.
"Whatever you do, you have one thing that is unique. You have the ability to make art.
When things get tough ... make good art.
Husband runs off with a politician ... make good art.
Leg crushed and then eaten by mutated boa constrictor ... make good art.
IRS on your trail ... make good art.
Cat exploded ... make good art.
Someone on the internet thinks what you are doing is stupid, or evil, or it's all been done before ... make good art.
The one thing that you have that nobody else has is you. Your voice. Your mind. Your story. Your vision."
