Hello Mr. Gaiman,
How old were you and Terry when you each first got published? Huge fan of both of your works and I’m always curious when my favorite authors first got published. As I get older I feel like any chance of finishing and publish something I’m proud of get slimmer. Thank you in advance if you answer and no worries if you don’t, I know you must get flooded with questions every day lol. ❤️
I was first published when I was 22, but didn't publish any fiction until I was 23. Terry was 15.

Israel admits to war crimes.
Not only admits, but brags and taunts International Humanitarian Groups about it. Claims that since USA saturation bombed Dresden in Nazi Germany during WW2 as a “necessary evil” for the greater good, and since Uncle Sam killed civilians back then, it is copacetic for Israel to kill Palestine citizens now as “collateral damage.” As if to claim “you did something horrible 80 years ago [that is now outlawed by International agreement] so we can do that same horrible thing with impunity.”
What the Zionist spin doctors of Israel are conveniently omitting is that since then, after WW2, the Geneva Accords were enacted, specifically prohibiting such acts of violence against civilians as War Crimes against Humanity.
What Uncle Sam did in WW2 would be considered a War Crime today.
What Israel is doing in Palestine would be considered War Crimes.
After WW2, Israel was instrumental in assisting the International Criminal Court, in tracking down and bringing to justice escaped Nazi War Criminals. Except for the thousands of ex Nazis that Uncle Sam granted immunity to while giving them visas to come work in the USA. You know, Werner Von Braun and thousands of lesser known Nazis all for the greater good. And Israel is not currently a signatory of the ICC, the International Criminal Court, therefore does not recognize the Geneva Accords, except in hypocritical instances when Israel’s Zionist spin doctors say so.
Speaking of Uncle Sam and the land of the free, how’s this for hypocrisy:
Personally I like to take a character and combine 19th century and modern day advice.
The character is given every chance to improve, every chance to grow and learn but they ignore it stubbornly in favor of following their own path. This ultimately leads them down a hole they can’t climb out of, their ambitions and goals blind them to a point where they don’t even realize it.
Where I got the idea from is a story structure called the tragic plot embryo. This whole thing is what I’m using for my story In the Grey actually. If you want to see the tragic plot embryo and how I use it you can just hit me up or google it 😊
Every 21st century piece of writing advice: Make us CARE about the character from page 1! Make us empathize with them! Make them interesting and different but still relatable and likable!
Every piece of classic literature: Hi. It's me. The bland everyman whose only purpose is to tell you this story. I have no actual personality. Here's the story of the time I encountered the worst people I ever met in my life. But first, ten pages of description about the place in which I met them.
