Reblogging it again in honor of him. AND Alan Rickman. :)
The Hanged Man: “Letting yourself absolutely accept the wisdom to come, even hard information. It’s about giving yourself to the reality of a situation to learn from it. It’s about humbling oneself for the sake of knowledge.” Portrayed as Neil Gaiman by Katelan Foisy
Start telling the stories that only you can tell, because there’ll always be better writers than you and there’ll always be smarter writers than you. There will always be people who are much better at doing this or doing that - but you are the only you.
Tarantino - you can criticize everything that Quentin does - but nobody writes Tarantino stuff like Tarantino. He is the best Tarantino writer there is, and that was actually the thing that people responded to - they’re going ‘this is an individual writing with his own point of view’.
There are better writers than me out there, there are smarter writers, there are people who can plot better - there are all those kinds of things, but there’s nobody who can write a Neil Gaiman story like I can.
- A bit of writing advice from Neil Gaiman. (via faramirs)
I said it on the Nerdist Podcast, and I believe it. It’s as true for any area of the arts, not just writing. Perhaps it’s true for life.
