"I aten’t dead yet"
Pratchett could do a lot worse than to draw upon Granny Weatherwax's persona for strength. Everybody keeps counting her out, and everybody's been wrong.
Sad news. I discovered Pratchett only in the last couple of years, and I've succeeded in catching up on, as far as I can tell, all of the DiscWorld novels plus the Gaiman collaboration and a sampling of his earliest work prefiguring DW. It's a bit of a shock to be reminded that my headlong rush into Pratchettmania will have an end someday. But he plans to continue writing and finish at least three more novels, and maybe with a little of Granny's iron determination, many more.
