The fifth elephant in the room

[extemporanea]

The latest Discworld novel, Snuff, is out: my copy arrived yesterday, and I spent the evening flat on the sofa devouring it. It's one in the Vimes series, and my ongoing state of more or less drooling Pratchett fangirliness means I prepared for it by re-reading the entirety of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch novels over the last two weeks, from Guards

I felt it strongly in Unseen Academicals; I will buy Snuff and read it, but I'm mourning the loss too. Beautifully written.

I've been re-reading Pratchett too, starting with the witches - Granny Weatherwax always was a role model. There's an elegaic feeling to the process, a wistfulness, so this resonates. Yeah, fuck Alzheimer's.

Hi - I've just linked to this piece for a bunch of people who write and were discussing making nano easier by dictating.They are also all huge Pratchett fans, and your writing is the best I've ever read on his writing and his illness.

thank you! I am happy it strikes a chord, and I hope it's useful.
