INSTRUCTIONS from Neil Gaiman
posted Monday September 13th, 2010
Ugh, I am all over the place today, even though I’ve scarcely left my chair. From e-mail (three accounts) to Facebook (four pages) to Internet (at least five pages open at all times) to a dozen or so Word files — back and forth, over and over and over, til bits of work are finally finished, giving new definition to the meaning of piecemeal. No peace, that’s for sure.
Then I opened an email from Noan, a favorite Mothers Who Write student, who suggested several of us click on Neil Gaiman’s blog. At first I marked the email unread, as I do with so many I mean to revisit and promptly forget, then went back and took her advice.
I’m so glad I did. As I watched the video I’ll post below, I realized I haven’t kept my hand off the mouse for four consecutive minutes all day.
“Trust dreams,” writes Gaiman. “Trust your heart and trust your story.”
Remember your name. Do not lose hope.
Stunning, Amy – thanks!
