The following DiscWorld will be...

Probably I Shall Wear Midnight! Pratchett spoke about voice-typing-software or whatever you call it and gave some examples why it's wrong with it but concluded with:

However, it's helped me write a large chunk of I Shall Wear Midnight[.]

Re: The following DiscWorld will be...

I read a quote from him just after he announced he had Altzhimers, he said he was planning to finish the current Discworld book he was on and then write one more. That was a while ago now, though, so things might have changed.

I would imagine that would probably depend on how his Alzheimers progresses?

Re: The following DiscWorld will be...

As far as I know does Pratchett live behind his keyboard. So, not writing couldn't be an option, right?

Re: The following DiscWorld will be...

Terry has a july update posted on the pjsmprints news page where he talks about Unseen Academicals and the Dragon voice software that he's using. I generally check that page evey month and it's not a bad source of info to be honest. There's also a couple of entries in Wikipedia re his two latest novels that may be of interest.....

Pterry himself and unless he changes his mind I will take that as read.
