The men who chased the sunsetOnce upon a time there were two men, chasing the sunset. They chased it with nets and traps and spears and bows, for they found it beautiful and they wanted to take it home.

They chased the sunset for weeks and months and years, but for all their traps and clever ways, they could never catch as much as a ray. Sometimes they argued over it, sometimes they laughed about it and, more often than they'd admit, they cried for it.

One day, one of the men came running into their camp, shouting and jumping.
"I've caught it, I've caught it!" he yelled, waving his arms and laughing.
"Well show me! Where do you keep it? How did you catch it?" demande

Vampire Story - tease 04Unable to choose from a teeming horde of uncertainties, Peter went for the obvious: 'I... who are you?'
Dominique gasped and went into theatrics. 'Oh, you don't even remember? Oh, my heart! Oh, my soul!' Christian sighed in an overbearing fashion and put down the knife he had been spinning. 'You were half-dead in a basement. We are the ones who got you out,' he said simply.
'Yes, but who are you?', 'People,' answered Christian in a bored voice, 'personalities, habits, ideas, philosophies, hearts, minds. People.'

A therapist's reading - 2by ~Skyen

Cartoons & Comics / Digital Media / Cartoons / Drawings

So I did another version of my last bit of art - with a rather larger volume of quotation. And here's why: I have a tradition of putting up bits of art behind the window on my front door, to keep people from peeking in too easily. And while Shakespeare is nice, Pratchett is a lot more accessible to the common man and just as brilliant in his way.

Sooo... yeah.

This guy is my idol- he's the one who got me seriousy thinking about my writing and wanting to improve, and why I'm one day gonna finish my stories and have them published.

One day.

Writing more stories is more important than finishing the ones you've got

I think of three pages of the most awesome idea ever- until the next one, of course. I write it down and then loose my insperation for it, overtaken by another idea. My Dad's got the same problem- we can't finish anything.

I've only read one of his books (The Wee Free Men), I keep meaning to get around to reading some others, they really do look good... I just dunno where to start, since there's so many!

Well the books all work individually, of course, though you get more out of them if you do them chronologically. They're also arranged into series, depending on who is the main character. So I'd say continue with the Tiffany Aching-books first - Hat Full of Sky, Wintersmith, I Shall Wear Midnight. After that, maybe do the Vimes-series - Guards! Guards!, Feet of Clay, Men at Arms, Night Watch, Thud! and so on. Or else the Death and Susan Sto-Helit series - Mort, Soul Music, Hogfather, Thief of Time.

Once you're sort of more into it, maybe go for some of the really early books and the Rincewind and Unseen University-series.

I shall note these down and keep an eye out next time I'm book-shopping

Seriously, Terry Pratchett is my life. I have read almost all of his books. I truly am glad to see someone else who obviously loves his stuff, too. Thank you. Made my day.

~MichaelSchenker2nd Oct 21, 2011

I gotta read some of his stuff.
