"Folks,
To those that want to know, it would be true to say that my life
right now is occasional short periods of writing interspersed and
interrupted with requests for interviews. As my UK readers will
know, merely catching a variant of Alzheimer's has propelled me
onto more prestigious chat show sofas than I have ever seen in 25
years of quietly writing the Discworld series.
My general health is good. The most recent test by my specialist
indicates, in effect, that I am no worse now, and possibly
slightly better than I was at the back end of November. I have no
idea when Unseen Academicals will be finished, simply because of
the amount of media interest that continues to be generated by
recent developments in the treatment of AD. Frankly, and with the
agreement of my publishers, I feel that this is something that I
should give priority to.
In a weeks time we are flying to the States to talk to a number of
specialists in AD research and, incidentally, go out with the LAPD
officers who are tasked with - and I am not kidding - locating and
bringing home those elderly joggers with memory difficulties who
have jogged five miles and can't remember where they live. I
thought this was an urban myth, but apparently it is true. We
will, obviously, be back in time for UK convention, which I would
not miss for root canal surgery.
The bad news is that it looks as if, for various reasons, Going
Postal The Movie will be delayed and shooting will not begin until
the start of next year. However, the guys from Mob turned up this
morning and filmed my sequence for the Colour of Magic DVD which
will be released in October.
