I’m gonna talk about #Discworld for a minute. I’ve been re-listening to favorites and going through the ones in the series that I never made it to around the first time and I realized something on my now second listen of #HatFullOfSky. #MissLevel (and #GrannyAching and #SirTerryPratchett by extension) taught me to write. What I mean by that is when Miss Level was trying to ascertain whether Tiffany’s Granny Aching had been a witch or not, she asked Tiffany if she’d helped people. 1/

"Um...the obvious one?" said Tiffany. "I mean, if they said, 'Yes, I am! Mwahahaha!' that would save a lot of trouble, wouldn't it"

"Did she help people?" Miss Level added.

Miss Level sighed. "Not many of us are that good," she said."
