RIP Diana Wynne Jones
I knew it was coming soon as she had been seriously ill for a while, but I feel broken. Diana Wynne Jones was my role model for writing fantasy - dammit for writing in general. She was the only writer who I could read over and over, whether over a period of seconds or years, without feeling like something was missing.
I am so grateful she was feeling better in her last months, but I am sad because I will never read another Chrestomanci story, or find out how long Sophie managed to put up with Howl before she poisoned his soup!
