"The main rule of writing is that if you do it with enough assurance and confidence, youâ€™re allowed to do whatever you like. (That may be a rule for life as well as for writing. But itâ€™s definitely true for writing.) So write your story as it needs to be written. Write it honestly, and tell it as best you can. Iâ€™m not sure that there are any other rules. Not ones that matter."

-- Neil Gaiman

“Money is a tool â€“ itâ€™s the means, not the end. [Inspiration is] the metric that dictates whether or not a project is a success. Itâ€™s more realistic than trying to aim for radio play, or trying to satisfy an AR, or the other gatekeepers on these platforms. I donâ€™t even know how to create with those things in mind. But if you tell me the goal is to inspire? That makes my job a lot easier.”
“The Mathemagician nodded knowingly and stroked his chin several times. â€œYouâ€™ll find,â€ he remarked gently, â€œthat the only thing you can do easily is be wrong, and thatâ€™s hardly worth the effort.”
