laurierobeyNeil, I am a Brazilian reader that as many in the world, I admire your work. I read many declarations your on as it searched inspiration to write histories of Sandman and other works. It would like to know, as you it had the inspiration to create this sensible side of Sandman, therefore when reading histories I perceive the intensity of emotions and personality of the personage. I am writing on a personage, nothing professional, of course, but all time that I try to improve my personage, seem that I am not being original, my personage finishes seeming some existing other already, this discourages me.
This never happened with you? If already it happened, as you dealt with this sensation? I know that I have an terrible English and a writer to read a thus written message, must very be bad. Forgive me, but I don´t have easiness, as you can perceive, with the English language. Some people had been born to write and to speak in English,
others as I, unhappyly, not. I am thankful for having read my message and if to answer, I will be immensely been thankful. Kisses, Neil.
Neil Gaiman answers:
I suspect you're using a translation program, which creates a wonderfully heightened sort of English. So I think I know what you're asking, but I'm not sure. If you're worried about not being original, then I wouldn't worry too much about that. Whatever you're writing is the first time you've written it, and you're bringing yourself to it. Even if other people have been there before, they weren't you. Make it new, and tell it as best you can.

Er... wait. Did I translate that right?
