The first article I chose was
Make Good Art: Neil Gaiman's Advice on the Creative Life, written by Maria Popova. I must be honest, I chose this article simply because Neil Gaiman is my
favorite writer.
The Sandman, by Neil Gaiman is without a doubt my favorite comic book series of all time. This article does well enough to introduce Gaiman's outlook on things. However, when it comes to writing his advise is much simpler. When I was reading a behind the scenes book about
The Sandman, Gaiman had an interesting idea. He said that all stories have already been written. It is up to the author to do the research, take an old idea and make it sound original. Feedback does not sound so bad after that.
The second article I read was
Seven Ways to Crush Self-Doubt in Creative Work, written by John Spencer. I liked the article. It was a reminder to trust others. Also, it reinforced the fact that there is no such thing as perfect, but there is good enough. Finally, it reminds you to trust yourself. In the end you know what is best for you.
