Terry Pratchett
There's no such thing as writer's block. That was invented by people in California who couldn't write.
Terry Pratchett
God does not play games with His loyal servants, said the Metatron, but in a worried tone of voice. Whooo-eee, said Crowley. Where have you been?
Terry Pratchett
There are some things that are more appropriate to a children's than an adult book but there's a huge overlapping area and most kids read an age group up anyway.
Terry Pratchett
'Discworld' is taking something that you know is ridiculous and treating it as if it is serious, to see if something interesting happens when you do so.
Terry Pratchett
Everything is a test.
Terry Pratchett
