Without Sir Terry Pratchett, my life would have been much duller, less thoughtful, and considerably lonelier.

I felt moved to say something here in particular, because he's had such an influence on my online life, and since my online life was about the only one I had for... some years, and is still the place where I engage with some of my very favourite people... Yes.

Gutted.

I'm not at all ashamed by the amount of ugly crying this news has brought on, although I will have to go to sleep at some point. Ugh.

Virtual group hugs all round.

(I started to write another sentence, and then realised I sounded like a BBC news post written by someone with a diseased mind.: "If you have been affected by this story, write in and tell us!!!!!!" But you know what I mean.)

In one of those odd confluences, last week or so I felt an overwhelming urge to reread PTerry, so I reread the ones I have with me -- Night Watch and Small Gods. So . . . I thank whatever bit of Narrative Causality made that happen.

Group hugs all around, for sure.

I am grateful to Sir Terry for his work for many, many reasons. Online friends who are amazing people is a significant one of them.

I just found out. <3333 Hugs all around, darling. My life has been infinitely richer for Terry Pratchett and his work having been in it, and you are a big part of what's made it rich. So sad he's gone.
