Was just thinking about Tanta — Doris Dungey — today.

She’s one of my favorite writers of all time. When I’m creating documentation for my team I often think, “How would Tanta write this?” There honestly aren’t many writers better than me but she was one. I will always strive to make my work as clear, as hard-hitting and as assured as she did.

I really miss her and wish I’d been able to read more of her words and to see more of the inside of her blisteringly insightful mind. It’s weird missing someone you’ve never even met, yeah? But I do. I can’t believe she’s been dead for 15 years.
