i started trying to think what the best advice
i'd been given over the years was.
and it came from
stephen king
twenty years ago, at the height of the success of
sandman.
i was writing a comic that people loved and were taking
seriously. king liked sandman and my novel with terry pratchett, good omens, and he saw the madness, the
long singing lines, all that, and his advice was this:
'this is really great. you should enjoy it.'
and i didn't.
best advice i got that i ignored. instead i
worried about it. i worried about the next deadline,
the next idea, the next story. there wasn't a
moment for the next fourteen or fifteen years that
i wasn't writing something in my head, or wondering
about it. and i didn't stop and look around and go,
this is really fun.
