Neil Gaiman is a writer that I really look up to, so I wanted to try writing like him for my "Famous Authors Writing Routine series". Before writing like Neil Gaiman I've written like Stephen King and Elizabeth Gilbert. Is there any other specific writer routine you want me to try? Let me know in the comments! 💬

"I think it’s really just a solid rule for writers. You don’t have to write. You have permission to not write, but you don’t have permission to do anything else."
- Neil Gaiman
Here is a breakdown of Neil Gaiman’s writing ritual:
- He writes the first draft by hand in a notebook, all the way through before typing it up as a second draft.
- He writes every day, even if he’s uninspired. Does not belive in writer’s block.
- He keeps a second book on the back burner to help him combat blocks.
- He finishes the stories that he starts.
- He reads outside his genre.
