For me, I would rather read a good book, from a contented author. I don't really care what it takes to produce that.

It's always too late for sorries, but I appreciate the sentiment.

I always wanted to be a writer, but Alan Moore's work and help inspired me to write comics. In some ways the biggest influence on me writing was Punk. There was the idea that you could do something by simply doing it.

Perfection is like chasing the horizon. Keep moving.

Writing may or may not be your salvation; it might or might not be your destiny. But that does not matter. What matters right now are the words, one after another. Find the next word. Write it down.

It is sometimes a mistake to climb. It is always a mistake to never make the attempt.

May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you're wonderful, and don't forget to make some art -- write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself.
