Not really an ask, but I just wanted you to know that I finally read Deep Wizardry at the age of 26 and the ending hit me like a truck and it took me multiple days to recover.
Thank you for letting me know.
It wasn't easy at this end, either. ...Which is possibly one reason why so many people feel this is the best of the YW books; and why I'm not going to argue with them.
Tidying the desktop* and ran across this just sitting there. Might as well post it.
*I had no choice. There was no more space for icons. :)
Writing is about exploring your imagination. Writing is about self expression. Writing is about having fun. Your writing doesn’t have to be perfect. You can always edit it later. You can always improve. But the most important part of the writing process is actually enjoying it.

Can't believe Diane Duane invented the nerd we all want to be
Can't believe Diane Duane invented love with this passage that's so crazy
sometimes the best fanfics are written by middle aged adults with years of writing experience who simply know how to craft a good story. but also sometimes the best fanfics are written by a sixteen year old girl with something deeply wrong with her
This week on: Do I Want to Be Diane Duane or Read Every Word She's Ever Written
Diane Duane really is the where's waldo of authors. Like oh, I just finished, Star Trek (TOS), those Star Trek books look pretty cool. Huh that cover with Spock on it looks neat. Proceed to read one of my favorite novels in the entire world. Ok ok it's by Diane Duane. Gotta remember that. Starting TNG like yo it's Diane Duane again! She wrote this episode :). Oh well, I guess no more Diane Duane Star Trek as I have found all of them for my collection. Damn, well my friend really likes Spiderman/Venom. Her birthday's soon. Guess I should get her comic books? And with steel chair it's Diane Duane again! And oh wait, what other comics did she write? She wrote a comic book for Star Trek! Better read that! An X-men novel!! Hmmm, y'know I've been reading a lot of sci fi and comic books recently. I would really like to get back to my roots and read some fantasy, preferably with some wizards. Diane Duane once again snipes me from the google recommend books page. Doing some research on Barbie to get ready for the Barbie Movie. Barbie: FairyTopia is cowritten by Diane Duane and Elise Allen. A bomb is dropped on my house. Watching a video essay on Batman because it's 2AM and youtube thinks I might like that. I've never watched Batman the animated series, but I guess I'll give it a try. Diane Duane strikes once again. Talking with my friends about their favorite authors and where they live during a vacation in Ireland. Huh I actually don't know where Diane Duane lives. Look it up and get punched into next week. Get tumblr. Ha that was a funny! Waldo once again has been sighted.
TL;DR: Diane Duane has got range and I haven't looked up all the things she's done and keep getting pleasantly surprised.
Never have I felt so much like a protagonist
your protagonist doesn’t need to save the world. maybe they just need to save their plant collection, one dying ficus at a time.
