#WritersCoffeeClub Dec. 12: Who is a writer whose life inspires you?

Probably #TerryPratchett , for how many awesome and hilarious books he wrote, and how he managed to transit from a full-time journalist to a full-time writer.

Also, his use of #footnotes . I love footnotes, and have hundreds of them in my books. Does anyone know why he stopped using them in his later books?
