Just came across this speech Terry Pratchett gave in Dublin at Trinity College in November of this year. A very interesting and of course funny talk, as to be expected from Sir Terry. It goes a bit into how his reading as a kid and how that fueled his writing. This is the part I think would be beneficial even to those writers not familiar with his writing. Also, he gets a cool hat at the end.

I have just spent 26 minutes watching, and will scurry back as son as I can to watch more. This is wonderful. I have always loved Pratchett’s books, but I think I might love his ideas more
Thanks!
No problem! Glad you liked it. I was so happy I came across it yesterday. It took me two viewings to get through it too, but it is worth it.

Great video, thank heavens I’m bored at work, but don’t tell anyone.
I just watched a bit, but I don’t have time for the whole thing. I must come back later tonight!
