Neil Gaiman- An Idol to Writing


Since the last few days I have been obsessively reading about writer Neil Gaiman and his writings. I have known about him from some time now but, it has never been at a deeper level. I just knew there was this writer named Neil Gaiman. The reason being, I was too obsessed in reading about the writings and works of my other idols to writing - Ernest Hemingway, Sylvia Plath, Charles Bukowski and Haruki Murakami. So even if wanting to, I could not actually discover more about the writer and the man - Neil Gaiman.


Of late, there has been a magnetic pull happening from this writer and his works. I have been drawn towards Neil Gaiman as if in a trance. And it has been an amazing journey for me. You will be equally drawn to him if you delve into his writings. I am now in a frenzy to read more of his thoughts and his words. In this blog post I would like to share a few of my favorite quotes and writings of Neil Gaiman.
Happy reading!

Sylvia Plath

If I said that I admire Sylvia Plath then it would be a humongous understatement. She is my reason to reading and writing poetry. I have been obsessively reading her poetry right from my college. Her poetry has been bewitching me right from then. Every single night I have been reading her words and lines. Most times I talk to her. Our conversations are about myriad topics but mostly about life, love, obsession and passion!












Deeply anguished that she took away her own life at such a tender age, I have been grieving ever since.










Melancholic and deeply morose I would read her poems.

And in my quest to know more about the man in her life ( feminist writers claim Ted Hughes caused her to take away her own life), I have been reading extensively about the man they called Ted Hughes.








But I have to admit it here, I write poetry because of Sylvia Plath.I am obsessively and passionately in love with Sylvia Plath. I will always love Sylvia Plath.
