'Whole worlds to share'

 

“Books makegreat gifts because they have whole worlds inside of them. And it's muchcheaper to buy somebody a book than it is to buy them the whole world.”  - Neil Gaiman
Gaiman, a native of Portchester, England, was born in November of 1960  He is the author of hundreds of articles, short stories and books, including the award-winning Sandman series and themulti-award-winning The Graveyard Book, a great exampleof a really interesting idea being brought to life (so to speak) through a story.    Gaiman's protagonist in The Graveyard Book isa young boy who lives in a graveyard where he’s being raised by the occupants(yep, those "occupants"), proving again that storytelling is limited only by the depth of a writer's imagination.   So if you've been thinking of trying to write, there's no time like the present and remember, it might be all in your imagination - and that's a good thing.                 

“The one thing that you have thatnobody else has is you,” Gaiman said.  "Yourvoice, your mind, your story, your vision. So write and draw and build and playand dance and live as only you can.”
