I was clutching at straws a little tonight, until I got into bed, and I had a sudden thought. And I had to get up, turn on my laptop and inform the world of everything. Because, today goes to the legend that is DANNY WALLACE.
I love his work - I read my first Danny Wallace book in 2007, and read them all since. And I've got halfway into his new book, 'Awkward Situations For Men', and realised just how much I want to be like him.
I want to notice the weird shizzle that he sees, and I want to be able to write in such a way that you can picture everything that goes on. I want to be able to write a regular column, and have a kid with my beautiful wife. And I want to be able to tell the world about my conversations at the pub with my friend Colin.
And hopefully, that's exactly what will happen. But I just can't believe how good this man is. His writing amazes me every time I turn the page, or read his ShortList stuff. Its just class.
And I wish him every luck in the world with the new pilot for the show too. Top man. No wonder he's my idol.
DANNY WALLACE, you are the Day Dedicatee for Saturday 31st July 2010.
