For wannabe writers

Neil Gaiman discusses a very interesting and important question in his blog today : what to do when you're crap at 23 ... He discusses his own journey towards becoming the successful writer he is today in a very candid manner. It's not a manual for becoming a good writer,as he himself observes, "... that was how I did it. You'll probably want to do it differently. I don't think any two people are going to take the same path, or need to"; but still it's an interesting read and quite instructive.
