You’ll already have made that art, and when they’re talking about the last thing you did, you should already be making the next thing. If bad reviews (of whatever kind) upset you, just don’t read them. It’s not like you’ve signed an agreement with the person buying the book to exchange your book for their opinion. Do whatever you have to do to keep making art. I know people who love bad... Neil Gaiman
For Children: You will need to know the difference between Friday and a fried egg. It's quite a simple difference, but an important one.

It doesn't seem to me that this fantastically marvelous universe, this tremendous range of time and space and different kinds of animals, and all the different planets, and all these atoms with all their motions, and so on, all this complicated thing can merely be a stage so that God can watch human beings struggle for good and evil - which is the view that religion has. The stage is too big for the drama. Richard P. Feynman
John Updike quote: "Being able to write becomes a kind of shield, a way of hiding,..."
Being able to write becomes a kind of shield, a way of hiding, a way of too instantly transforming pain into honey. John Updike

Nothing is so much calculated to lead people to forsake sin as to take them by the hand and to watch over them in tenderness. When persons manifest the least kindness and love to me, O what pow'r it has over my mind. Joseph Smith, Jr.
It is awfully hard work doing nothing. However, I don't mind hard work where there is no definite object of any kind. -Algernon Oscar Wilde

For her first summer vacation, my sister went to California with a couple of friends on a package tour put together by her agency. One of the members of the tour group was a computer engineer a year her senior, and she started dating him when they came back to Japan. This kind of thing happens all the time, but it's not for me.
