Do you heart it like this? (Makes heart shape with both hands)

Me:
No, more like less than 3. So wrong in so many ways.

My third greatest fear in life is that ebook readers mark the inevitable decline of fuck-off-gigantic floor to ceiling bookshelves crammed full of amazing books of all manner of subjects, shapes, sizes and colours.
My second greatest fear is that I love reading on my iPad so much that I may never buy another paper book again.
_(My greatest fear is that my life is all that it will ever and ever will be an oh my sweet zombie Jesus the painful mediocrity of me, but I’ll save that for another time)_

Two of my favourite creative people talking about being creative.
Shaun Tan and I in conversation in The Guardian today.
NG: That is often the answer to “where do you get your ideas from” – two unrelated things come together and suddenly it produces something new. Two or more things …
ST: Yes, a minimum of two. It seems that they have to be unrelated, because otherwise your brain forms an existing association that’s very hard to get away from. It’s almost like you have to displace the emotion to examine it. If it’s in its nice little gift-wrapped box, if it’s packaged in the way that emotions in everyday life are so often packaged, we can file it away. But when emotion is attached to something that is completely outside of experience, it makes you examine it, as though it has no wrapper on it.
It always seems to come out at night.
Stupid night.
