What Neil Gaiman has to say about Terry Pratchett
Matthew ChampionMar 12, 2015 The 'about the authors' section in Good Omens, jointly authored by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, notes: "Terry Pratchett gets up early in the mornings, Neil Gaiman early in the afternoons. [Good Omens] was created in the four or five hours every day when both of them were awake." Today it was announced that Sir Terry had died aged 66, following a battle with Alzheimer's. In a blog posted shortly afterwards, Gaiman wrote: I woke up and my email was all condolences from friends, and requests for statements from journalists, and I knew it had happened. I'd been warned. Thirty years and a month ago, a beginning author met a young journalist in a Chinese Restaurant, and the two men became friends, and they wrote a book, and they managed to stay friends despite everything. Last night, the author died. There was nobody like him. I was fortunate to have written a book with him, when we were younger, which taught me so much. This was the last thing I wrote about Terry. I knew his death was coming and it made it no easier: I'll miss you, Terry. I'm not up to writing anything yet. Maybe one day.
