From Neil Gaiman’s blog:
Have you ever noticed that your writers have changed? Semi-serious question. You�ll spend six months in a romantic comedy, then you turn around one day and you’re in a ghost story or a medical thriller, or you spend a year in a kitchen sink, grittily realistic drama and then, without warning, your life turns into a sitcom…
It�s always sudden. It often happens with a bang. Ah, I think, when that happens to me. New writers…
Yes. Yes, that’s it, exactly.
Sigh.
