To me, the Discworld is complete because of its incompleteness

I am one of a generation of writers who exist because people like Terry, and Neil G and Iain (M) Banks showed us it was okay to want to tell big, real stories. Even if it was in a genre our teachers told us was small
Terry lives on in every word that we collectively write. Whether it's history, satire, sci-fi or something else.

The stories that we write are the direct children of the stories that we read. He lives on in our words, not just on the wire.
My history pieces are as much a testament to Jingo as they are to my degree.

My politics stuff is as much a testament to The Truth as my own journalism.

And, above all, my believe in common decency and the need to stand up is pure Night Watch. 💐
