Terry Pratchett about writing near 75% of Good Omens, ArmadaCon III 1991 (video)
Terry: We worked on the phone who did what. I did a bit more than Neil of lthat anyway. But, it also felt to me to do an awful lot of the glue that no one wanted to do - because it was easy to do 'set piece scenes' and written on a kind of... on the kind of plot somewhere, you know: 'get A and B to F' and ' X and Y have got to see T'. And then, well, that really is about 3000 words where you have to move people around and then, you know, shove extra bits in. So I ended up probably probably doing near 75% of the book.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, you do not decide which discworld book you're going to read first, the universe does. It's whichever one accidentally makes its way into your immediate vicinity, whichever one is the only one on the shelf at the library when you were actually looking for something else.

"hey why are all the barrier garments like linen shirts or chemises or combinations going away?"
"oh we have more washable fabrics now! you don't need to worry about sweat reaching your outer clothing when you can just chuck it in the washing machine!"
"cool!"
[100 years later]
"so uh all of those new washable fabrics are leaching microplastics into our water, and the constant machine-washing wears garments out faster. they're also not really sturdy enough to be mended, so we keep having to throw them out and now the planet is covered in plastic fabric waste that will never break down. also it turns out that the new washable fabrics hold odor-causing bacteria VERY well. so could we get those barrier garments back please?"
"sorry babe linen now costs $100000/yard and since it's been so long without them, nobody knows how to adapt barrier garments to the current styles anyway"
"..."
"maybe try this new $50 undershirt made of Special Sweat-Wicking Plastic Fabric! :) :) :)"
