How have I not heard this full episode?!

[@JanetFayard]

Sounds like what ceramic clay does to me...the intention to begin with a concept ( form ) in mind and then the other ideas that emerge as the clay takes shape. Love your work Neil and also Amanda's.❤ For the Family

Very inspirational words Neil Gaiman. Only esteemed writers like you could paint a picture as imaginative and inspiring with one’s own words, and what true magic that the mind can really do for one’s self.

Sort of a different way of looking at this, but I've read a lot of books lately that I would say are written by gardeners, but they've all planted the same seeds. I'm ready to read books by architects who are going to give me something new.

You will figure it out.

[@missrebel634]

Architects and gardeners is the same as plotter and pantser?

[@joedavis4150]

... the great psychedelic Terry McKenna would be the one to learn from...

[@justonefyx]

He'd rather be a groomer than a gardener or an architect
