One 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*

Here are my answers to this meme: Name a character I've written about, and I will tell you three things that I think are essential to keep in mind when writing that character.

In other news, today at work we had a mandatory 7 am meeting. And I'm scheduled to work from 12:30-9:30 pm. And I slept really badly last night, in part because I was worried about oversleeping, missing the meeting, and getting fired. Not looking forward to my shift, oh no.
