More from Terry Pratchett

“Writing is the most fun you can have by yourself.”
“The presence of those seeking the truth is infinitely to be preferred to the presence of those who think they've found it.”
“There's no such thing as writer's block. That was invented by people in California who couldn't write.”
“Once you have your character sitting right there in your head, all you really need to do is wind them up, put them down, and simply write down what they do, say, or think.”
“In all seriousness, people think that it's the ideas that are important. Well, everyone has ideas, all the time. I tend to write mine down and remember them, but at some point you have to apply the bum to the seat and knock out about sixty five thousand words - that's how long a novel is.”
