What?  No one has pointed out that Neil linked to their picture on his
blog?

Obviously, this is something we should share with each other...

I miss Neil.  I'm a newbie on Twitter, and this topic reminded me to go 
see if he's there so I can follow him.

He is, and, curiously, so is Neil Gaiman's Fibulua and Neil Gaiman's 
Tibia, each of which has numerous followers.

Neil has followers numbering in the low 6 figures.

I can't follow Neil on Twitter - I will miss all of my friends' tweets
in all of his noise.

I do follow The Fabulous Lorraine, because, well, how could I not?

Neil hasn't been in my circle of awareness for quite some time, so I don't 
know what he's up to, therefore don't know why now is a crazy time for 
him, although I take your word for it.

And I still haven't seen Coraline, although I seriously want to.

Oh, didn't know about his father.  My condolences, Neil, if you're 
watching.

I didn't know he went on Colbert!  When was that?  I gotta go look for 
that episode.

I know exactly what you mean!  I loved Eli Stone, but they pulled the plug 
without warning or even asking my opinion about it.  Unbelievably rude.

I also love that Journal post by Neil, and it reminds me, yet again, of 
why I love Neil.

It's a good lesson for me, too.  I've been reading Jim Butcher's Dresden 
series, and right in the middle of it, Butcher decides he'd rather write 
fantasy, and I'm all out of sorts about it.  I want to read the next 
Dresden, damn it, and I want it now!  So forget abut that fantasy crap and 
get to work.

But he didn't and the next book came out when it came out, and by then I'd
lost interest and forgotten all about it, and still haven't bought it.  
Part of that is kind of like feeling rejected by a very promising lover,
who still wants me and wants me to want him, but I only hear from him
every year or so and in the meantime, I'm hearing about the other lovers 
he's spending his time with, the way he used to do with me, and why should 
I waste my time when he does show up because I know he's just going to 
break my heart again.

(neilgaiman) queries on Twitter:


Any Americans out there who say “I’ve not (been/done/etc”? And if
so, what part of the country are you from?

In response to:

@neilhimself I think I found an anglicism in American Gods (10th
anniversary edition).  "Oh, I've not been in Chicago for a while,
puppy."  On page 465 in my paperback copy.  Maybe intentional, but
how often do you hear an American say "I've not" instead of "I
haven't"?

pretty common

I'm from southern Appalachia

I've not heard that it isn't.
I've not done a thing all day.

The usage seems, to me, to be of another time. It wafts through my
reading like stale perfume or the odor of capybara leavings.

My mom says “I’ve not.” Born in WV in the 1930s

On the other hand. my dad is of the same vintage and terroir and
I’ve never heard him use it.
