kindkitOne of my favorite writers, Reginald Hill, died yesterday. *sigh*
Read his books; they're wonderful. In particular, read his Dalziel and Pascoe novels; even if you're not particularly a fan of mysteries, you'll probably like them because they're got fascinating characters, including real character development in the recurring cast, and are beautifully, intelligently, wittily written. Deadheads is a good place to start, then read the rest in order through Death's Jest-Book, then read the very early ones and the very late ones, because although they're not as strong as the middle run, by that time you'll be so fond of the characters that you'll want to read everything.
Then write some fanfic, maybe. That's all we have, now. *sighs again*
