For a while now I've been reading
Neil Gaiman's online journal, detailing his work writing, editing, and promoting his latest novel,
American Gods. Not only is it interesting reading, and not only is Mr. Gaiman an
amazing writer and fantasist -- if you haven't yet read the
Sandman comics, you've missed out on a monumental, timeless, and defining tale...read it,
now -- but Mr. Gaiman is also using Blogger to write his journal.
Don't see the connection? While I don't really think I can compare myself with Mr. Gaiman, at least we're both using the same tool to communicate with the world around us :)
Neil Gaiman was also a definite inspiration for every aspect of my last game,
The Longest Journey, from the characters and dialogue, to the mythology and the world(s). And with my next game (no, not
Midgard; just wait and see) it will probably be even more evident that I tend to draw inspiration from the same sources as Mr. Gaiman.
Just thought I'd mention it.
