The Choice

GAIMAN

A relatively 'ordinary' life. He's just a good guy doing his thing! Writing and living. There's nothing particularly adventurous (like Leonora Carrington) or mysterious and interesting (like Poe).

This means that I'd be relying on his words.

Which is fine because he has written a whole bunch of incredible material

BUT I do worry that if I'm ONLY focusing my research on his writing that I may end up simply illustrating his stories.

I don't want to do that! I want to study someone whose life/context INTRIGUES ME. I want to feel the magic and unfortunately, Gaiman, you're just a little vanilla.

I sound so picky and awful and terrible and I'm sorry Gaiman because you're great! It's nothing personal. It's not you, it's me.

I thought Leonora was too crazy and now that Neil isn't exciting enough.

Oh Jay.

So I guess I'm going with Poe.
I think.

I don't know.

Darn I hate decisions so much!

But it's something that I need to do and need to practise doing! So I'm going to keep sketchbooking and collecting and making. Making an INFORMED decision.
