Bestselling author Neil Gaiman has one of the funniest, most entertaining
and interesting
author blogs. In
a recent entry, Neil
relates this incident, which is sure to give any author pause......"Yesterday I
went to San Diego on the train. Waiting in line,
I realised that pretty much everyone else getting on the train
was also going to the convention.
'Boy, last year I tried everything I could to get your autograph,'
said the gentleman behind me, to me. 'I never got it though. I
never made it into one of the signing lines. I even tried getting
round the back, the no admittance area, to get you to sign
something, but they stopped me.'
'Oh,' I said, apologetically. 'Er, well, would you like it now?'
'Nah,' he said. 'It wasn't for me anyway.'" Ouch!
