This book has come at the right time for me. It reminds me to enjoy the work I create and to break rules even when people tell me not to

fiction is the lie that tells the truth.

Inspiring, and weirdly emotional. I really liked this short book, liked where it was coming from and where it was going. It is always a pleasure to read advices from people such as Neil Gaiman. But more importantly, make good art.

Everyone who loves reading needs this book. Everyone who considers themselves a creative needs this book. I can't tell you the amount of times I have experienced self-doubt and discouragement as a creative. There are good days and there are bad days. Days when your art, often a source of joy and comfort, becomes a source of anxiety and inadequacy. Days when you ask, 'what's the point?' and wonder why you even try. I've been in that place.

I needed this book. I needed to hear from someone who's been there, someone who understands, and someone who continuously fights through it by making art. I loved this book immensely. I want to print pages of it and stick them on my wall to remind myself to keep going. It's a warm hug, an encouragement, and a rally cry.
