Oh. My. God.

Neil Gaiman sent me my next story assignment.

No, I don’t mean I’ve been inspired by something he wrote or a quote on his blog. Nothing so abstract.

There was a postcard in my mailbox this afternoon from Neil Gaiman. And he used green ink in his fountain pen.

The address part was, of course, filled in with Ceri’s neat printing. I expect that this is her delicious secret. I thought that it had something to do with Scott’s birthday, but apparently not.

I’m rather stunned.

Oh, the topic?

A line of people that never ends…

Which, when you think about it, really sums up the moment in which it was written.
