Discworld

debbiefong:

“All this stuff streams down into me. My own books drive themselves. I know roughly where a book is going to end, but essentially the story develops under my fingers. It’s just a matter of joining the dots – and that process really hasn’t got any more difficult since my diagnosis.” 

Terry Pratchett, one of my favorite authors, in a 2009 interview. I love how he describes story-writing.. And despite being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in 2007, he’s continued to write and publish Discworld books. I think he’s up to 39 books now?
