Neil Gaiman's Journal

I am a bad person. While I was in the UK Scott McCloud told me to go and read BITE ME: a webcomic for the distinguished vampire. and I did, and kept reading, despite horrendously slow download speeds, and meant to post something about it here and didn't. It's funny, and it grows on you.

I'm about to send the American Gods story off to Robert Silverberg. It's as second draft as it's going to get. Unless I change the title between posting this and sending the e-mail, it's called THE MONARCH OF THE GLEN, after the Landseer painting, but that's only because I didn't get in quick enough for CAPE WRATH...

Enormous thanks to Claire Laybourne, who lives in the area I've been writing about, and who reads this blog. She sent an FAQ line message offering help a few months ago, and I took her up on her offer -- she read the first draft of the story and told me that it was okay, and offered much information to make it more accurate, geographically.
