So I'm Pretty Much Best Friends With Him Now...



I'm suddenly Twitter Star-Struck. I saw a few comments (see red arrows) from Neil Gaiman about his daughter, Maddy on Twitter today and as a father of 4 boys felt a connection to this dad who just happens to be an amazing author. Neil Gaiman is one of my favorite authors (Stardust, Coraline for those of you who don't recognize him, Sandman, American Gods for those of you who do) So even though I rarely do this, I sent a message through Twitter to Neil (2nd photo, my comment is at the bottom) telling him, "I love your relationship with your daughter. So rare to find famous people who can be good examples. No pressure." I was blown away when he actually answered me saying, "I have three amazing children. They do all the work at being wonderful, and I take the credit. It's easy." I know that I am being silly but I am seriously so amazed that I had a discussion (albeit very short discussion) with a famous person.

I'll never wash this keyboard again...
