It is sad to hear Terry Pratchett being so bitter with how the things are happening with him. He is an amazing author and has always brought inspiration.

Terry is the most wonderful author, and a wonderful human being. He spent the last 3 days at our Australian Discworld Convention and many fans have now had the chance to talk to him personally because he just loves to sit and chat with them all.

God bless, Terry Pratchett. Writer and Human par excellence.

Sir Terry is my favourite author, his works have been a source of constant entertainment. When he announced his diagnosis, it was heartbreaking. It's both really inspiring and really sad to hear him talk so frankly about it. I saw him talk a few years ago and he's one of the sharpest and brightest minds, and it's going to be very sad when he's unable to keep writing.
