has today my daughter Maddy's birthday. She was seven when I started this blog. Now it is 16th We were now today morning on the way (actually yesterday morning) and wanted a car for her - she has the last Months spent on the internet, looking for cars that were within the price range that I claimed her, and within it you are not embarrassed to be seen actually driving the car. And she found one and we did a trial run and now she is a girl with a car and I feel something more, because my youngest child car drives now.
I wish they would put some time in guest-blogging, but she said that she is too aware that she meets strangers who tell her how much she like it when they blog, and that they will not disappoint you now. It is the funniest person I know has the sweetest nature and a sunny smile, I love to spend time with her, no matter whether we travel together around the world and experience adventure or watch the big bang theory.
HAPPY SIXTEENTH BIRTHDAY, Maddy Gaiman

I fly on Sunday in the UK for the Doctor Who script-reading Tuesday. This morning I got the "We can not afford" revised draft of my script to Doctor Who by producers. I'll have to change again. And then we are almost there. I think. I hope. I pray.
(I met a few people who wondered if the episode of Babylon 5 was much easier to write: I think there were two drafts, but they were given sets. . and there was almost no special effects My episode of Doctor Who is a unique way to great, both internally and externally: I asked for the impossible and they have even knocked out by it allowed me and if they could not, they managed at least, allow me to somehow improbable.

Neil,
I prepare myself just in front of it, about twelve extremely reluctant junior high boys the CD to Graveyard Book audition as they read along the text in their books. I have not managed to find a syllabus for this book. Could you please take some time and write something about the background of the book and perhaps cemetery also has some extra ideas that you've left out? We look forward to finally can begin.
Thank you, Dianne, the librarian
I asked Elyse Marshall from Harper Children and she wrote:
Here is a link to our reading instruction:

There are great discussion topics and suggestions for further handling of the text - the perfect match for teachers. The guide was written by a middle school teacher who had exactly this target group in mind.
show the auf Mousecircus.com, http://mousecircus.com/videotour.aspx on. In addition to the movies with my readings are selected highlights of the questions-and-answer event of the tour, in which many questions are answered.

That was wonderful! Thank you.

Dear Mr. Gaiman,
is certainly the mail now a repetition of many ordinary mail, they receive from your Journal readers, so I apologize now.
This is now very, I urge you to end your journal.
I understand that you just because you lately are so very successfully (by the way congratulations to!) Find no time for regular blogging or appealing immediacy of Twitter this Blogging replaced. So I think the Journal has found a natural end.
Think of Mr. Campbell's Blog - "frozen for all time," your words. I think your journal, which is one of the most impressive online blogging products in the relatively short history of the Internet deserves better than this along, stumbling, like a ball player who runs his best years behind, sometimes with momentum and the Ball hit, mostly miss these (in this analogy, a "miss" a day or was an event without a blog, and of these there lately more.)
Maybe you can archive it as a document of a period of time for all to read and to to enjoy it. Or perhaps the long announced and again on it directed publication of individual journal excerpts will ultimately reality. Either way, the Journal had his wedding. It has fulfilled its task. It is time that it is past.
(amazing how many "it is / is" I can contribute to?)
Please understand this as an attack. I am and will always be a fan, but I've grown fond of this journal over the years and the current state is a shame.
(There were times when I have it every day, called twice a day. Now once a week, if it comes up. I've even removed from my Mac Top Sites. Pant!)
you develop your site. Make Twitter to your main mouthpiece, and leave the Journal, are the stories and upcoming events, etc. as a reading experience Sun As a testimony of a part of your life and your career, frozen for the time, perfect for personal moment for all who want to enjoy it.
My best wishes and hopes for continued success,
Scott Dixon
I can not remember that I was previously asked to give up the journal. But no, I did not quit before, not at this time.
The blog has ended a kind of hobbling break up my work on Dr Who is. (As explained in http://journal.neilgaiman.com/2010/07/normal-service-will-be-resumed-as-soon.html .) And then he will be back in a slightly different form. But I will have something to do with a new book and blog much fun when you write. It is nice to warm up for my mind and my fingers.
