Where everybody knows your name

Random quote of the day:


"The power of being an author, the joy of it for me, is that if one wasn't an author one would be a really boring person filled with peculiar bits of trivia, the sort you meet in a bar saying 'Did you know that...?' For an author, all of this 'white knowledge,' the kipple in the back of your head, no longer is old keys and broken batteries, abandoned buttons, forgotten paper clips; it's actually useful!"

—Neil Gaiman, interview, Locus, February 2005

Heh. Cheers! :)

I love this quote - as a matter of fact, I was thinking something similar just yesterday. One of the things I love about writing is the excuse for researching random facts, or places, or odd subjects. And having a reason to jot notes and descriptions down for later - I love thinking that all the miscellaneous things I find fascinating might someday come together. :)

Same here! Writers are expert generalists. :-)

He he! I like the quote but combined with the picture it's sheer genius.
