Humiliatingly, I dreamt last night that I was giving Paul Higgins (actor turned writer and consequent author of Nobody Will Ever Forgive Us) writing tuition.

At one point in my dream, I said to the poor confused man: "I mean, I know you might wonder why I, who have never written anything, have been chosen to tutor you who have vastly more experience, but I hope you'll soon see why".

Such subconscious arrogance.
