I know that this isn't strictly news, and we all pretty much know this in the first place, but I just wanted to say what a legend David Almond is. Talented, down to earth, not afraid to talk about how hard he worked to become an author, and a real inspiration to every as-yet-unpublished writer out there. Brilliant. That's what our whole Creative Writing course should be like (and to be fair, some parts of it have been). The man's a genius, and exactly the kind of writer I would hope to become one day. More important than that, he's helped give us all some good ideas and advice. Plus, he signed our books(!)
Now if only Newcastle Uni could get Philip Pullman to come and teach us...
