shit, he finally died, eh? the grim reaper's had his name on the cards since he was born, hasn't he?

A true character, I love his descriptions of why he became a writer, basically adding up to "I couldn't draw, I couldn't sing, but I knew my alphabet."

Also talking about how he doesn't have any say in how his books go, it isn't up to him how the characters react or which decisions they take, so even if he really doesn't want a character to do something, it's not his place to stop them, he is just the conduit for the story, the story is written by the characters.
