Because I'm sometimes overfocused
Sep. 26th, 2004 08:31 pm... and I'd finished GOING POSTAL, Pratchett's latest novel, and I had reread all of the Watch novels in chronological order and was left with that slightly empty feeling one gets when one hasn't quite finished but there's nothing left to finish, I suddenly remembered that Google Is Our Friend, and, in an act much less lazy than is my wont, dug up a few words from alt.fan.pratchett, posted by the author in question.
"All this being said, at the recent DWcon I did a reading on the Friday
night and gave the audience a choice between part of the next adult
novel ( a Watch novel) and the next Tiffany/Feegle novel. They both got
loud cheers, but the latter's cheer was perceptibly louder. Maybe
there are two roads now."
I'm so excited :D. New Watch novel!
ETA: The new working titles, according to the site that
tenebris so kindly pointed out are:
WINTERSMITH (Tiffany novel)
THUD (Watch novel)

(I thought it was "not great, but shows promise" and continued on to read the rest, which improved.)
