Here's something for the writers among us. Novelist and story writer Patrick Ness is the first writer in residence at Booktrust. As such he's writing the Writer in Residence blog, and it's briliant. Lots of practical insights into the writing process, including this, which I thought was especially useful to know:
...no one, and I mean NO ONE, ever reads my
first drafts aside from me. And knowing that going in, I have a LOT
more freedom to try things out, to overwrite where I'm struggling, to
fall on my face and fix it without anyone ever knowing it happened.
