Neil Gaiman’s ‘Calendar of Tales’ - February
I’m not old enough to enter (16) officially but I did submit this. I dunno. I won’t win anyways but it turned out nice. The story was really neat, and I just imagined this really airy, Limbo/Coma type place with literally no color except for this girl’s dress.

(I was asked to repost this to make it rebloggable, so here it is again)
Sleepyhollowjacks asks: During your Heart-Shaped Box writing days, how did you divide your time between projects? A few days a week on the occasional short story, the rest on Judas? One of my short stories isn’t so *short* anymore. Has stretched out into something much bigger. But I’m aware I could spend two years working on this potential novel, and then not have it sell. Want to avoid the whole eggs-in-a-basket thing.
Two thoughts:
The first is to stop thinking about writing a novel that’s going to take you two years. That’s too overwhelming. Instead, just focus on what you’re going to do today, which is write another great scene: a scene that does something unexpected and fun and is going to make people want to read on. Something that explores the characters in a way that’s real but surprising. Don’t write about someone waking up, unless they’re waking up to find a dead body next to them. Don’t write about someone making breakfast unless there’s a head in the fridge… or his wife is going to call halfway through his eggs to tell him she’s leaving his drunk and lazy ass for an alligator wrestler and part-time evangelical preacher. That would be a great scene to write and that’s all the job comes down to. Your job is to write one great scene… and then write another great scene. When you have a whole stack of them, it’s a short story, or a novel.
My second thought is that the only way to learn how to write a novel is to write a novel. You’re afraid you’ll spend two years on a book you can’t sell and it will all be wasted time. Forget that. Whether you sell the book or not, it won’t be wasted time. You will be developing crucial skills for the next book. You will develop ideas you can recycle later. Success comes from the things you learn when you fail. If you can’t bear to fail, it’s hard to grow as an artist.
I was one of the people who asked.
This is true.

So this is my wish, a wish for me as much as it is a wish for you: in the world to come, let us be brave – let us walk into the dark without fear, and step into the unknown with smiles on our faces, even if we’re faking them.
And whatever happens to us, whatever we make, whatever we learn, let us take joy in it. We can find joy in the world if it’s joy we’re looking for, we can take joy in the act of creation.
So that is my wish for you, and for me. Bravery and joy.
