Gaiman's an Otter
In college, I was called Otter (its a derivation of my last name) so it is with great pride that I find that Neil Gaiman thinks he's an otter too.
"Writers are otters," states Neil Gaiman, firmly...Otters are not trainable," he explains. "Dogs are trainable - if you want them to sit you train them and give them rewards and they sit each time. But otters... if they do something cool and you give them a fish, the next time they'll do something even cooler. Or they'll try to do something completely different. I think that most writers - or at least a lot of us - are otters."Posted by John on September 27, 2007 02:27 PM | Posted to Fantasy | Interviews

Why am I not surprised.
