Just because of his personality, I mean. But his writing is really awesome, too.

Yeah, Edie. That’s his personality. He pretty much rocks. When I think of all the successful authors out there, I’m most glad that he is one.

I’m not exactly sure why such a fuss is made of them, like they’re the most amazing, God of all rules, or something.

I am SO with you on that, Written. I dislike Elmore Leonard’s rules.

Tons of stuff there!

I just came back from read a few of the lists of 10 rules. I love Neil Gaiman’s. Makes me want to read all his books.

Lately I’ve been revolting against rules. A rule may be good most of the time, but other times breaking the rule is better or even necessary.
