On Censorship and Control

“Push them a little further and they’ll invoke “family values”, a phrase that more and more frequently makes me feel like falling to the floor and projectile vomiting. Censorship and the suppression of reading materials is rarely about family values and almost always about control. Who is snapping the whip, who is saying “no”, and who is saying “go”. Censorship’s bottom line is this: if the novel Christine offends me, I don’t want to just make sure it’s kept from my kid, I want to make sure it’s kept from your kid as well. And all the kids.This bit of intellectual arrogance — undemocratic and as old as time — is best expressed this way: If it’s bad for me and my family, it’s bad for everyone’s family. Yet when books are run out of school classrooms and even out of school libraries as a result of this idea, I’m never much disturbed. Not as a citizen, not as a writer, not even as a schoolteacher, which I was trained to be and used to do. What I tell the kids is don’t get mad, get even. Don’t spend time waving signs or carrying petitions around the neighborhood. Instead run — don’t walk — to the nearest non-school library or to the local bookstore, and get whatever it was they banned. Read what they’re trying to keep out of your eyes. Read what they’re trying to keep out of your brain. Because that’s exactly what you need to know.” — Stephen King h/t: Daring Fireball

Gaiman, On Writing

Yesterday was a bad writing day. I spent a lot of time staring at a screen. Lots of Tumblr replies. Lots of Twitter (the Netflix Sandman trailer going out didn’t help). Lots of being grumpy at myself and convinced I couldn’t do it any more. The script was a mess. I was doomed. This morning I printed out what I had to fix, picked up a pen, made a few notes and started typing. It was fun and easy and straightforward. I finished it and sent it to the people who needed to see it, and just got an amazed call from our script editor saying she was laughing while crying and couldn’t work out how I’d done everything in a day.
