(no subject)

I don't usually make posts for dead authors. By the time I find out about it it always seems everyone else has said what there is to say.

But if there is a single author I had to pick out of a long, long list of authors I love as being important to me, way at the center - as forming the way I think and write about the world - it would be Diana Wynne Jones. I honestly can't remember the first time I read one of her books; they're so much a part of me that it feels like she's always been there.

Thank you for everything, DWJ.
