Are you afraid of The Dark? So is Laszlo, the young protagonist of Lemony Snicket’s new children’s book, illustrated by 2013 Caldecott Medal winner Jon Klassen.”

I tried to read one story at a time so that I could savor every sentence and let the images linger in my head. But of course I devoured all twelve stories in one sitting. Still, in true Gaiman fashion, each sentence was delectable and the images were seared into my brain. October is my month and it might be favorite tale, too.

“Stories that you read when you’re the right age never quite leave you. You may forget who wrote them or what the story was called. Sometimes you’ll forget precisely what happened, but if a story touches you it will stay with you, haunting the places in your mind that you rarely visit.” ~M is for Magic, Neil Gaiman

This question came in:
juandepareja asked you:
Do ever go through phases where you’re too tired/listless/depressed to write anymore? If so, what do you do to get through it?



So I thought I would put up a motivational poster, for you, Juan, and for anyone else who needs it. (Original photo by Holly Gaiman at the Hay Literary Festival.)
