Folks,
I would have liked to keep this one quiet for a little while, but because of upcoming conventions and of course the need to keep my publishers informed, it seems to me unfair to withhold the news. I have been diagnosed with a very rare form of early
onset Alzheimer's, which lay behind this year's phantom "stroke".
We are taking it fairly philosophically down here and possibly with a mild optimism. For now work is continuing on the completion of Nation and the basic notes are already being laid down for Unseen Academicals. All other things being equal, I
expect to meet most current and, as far as possible, future commitments but will discuss things with the various organisers. Frankly, I would prefer it if people kept things cheerful, because I think there's time for at least a few more books yet)
Terry Pratchett
PS I would just like to draw attention to everyone reading the above that this should
be interpreted as 'I am not dead'. I will, of course, be dead at some future point, as
will everybody else. For me, this maybe further off than you think - it's too soon to tell.
I know it's a very human thing to say "Is there anything I can do", but in this case I
would only entertain offers from very high-end experts in brain chemistry.

in yo FACE!
somebody find some stem cells!
This sucks.
Honestly, I want to see someone with Alzheimers and a good comedic sense try to write a book
It writes itself
I have let God know that when my time comes he can kill me however he wants as long as it's either quick or doesn't affect my mind. If he pulls that Alzhiemer's shit with me I am throwing myself off the first cliff I see, no kidding.
Bad form!
Satans..... hints.....
what?
bad taste jokes can be the best jokes
or as TFS seems to think, bad taste is funny all by itself!
the exact same thing
If someone posted this topic again.
Satans..... hints.....
I remember when she first started living with us, and she forgot what happened the day before, and she always tried to go to her home (She became unable to care for herself) although it was across the ocean.
It's gotten so bad that she has lost the ability to speak.
And I'm scared because my other grandma obviously has it now, and I think my dad is getting it, because he has forgetting a lot of things lately.
hey that's my name!
was
was she hot?
This is true.
