(I dashed out and bought what must've been the last available fan on the high street.) \\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/463298_original-c8161bb46e.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\">\\r\n\\r\nBut the next day was cooler and the sessions were a lot more fun to make, with agent Anna Davis there with her clipboard, making sure I covered all the points we'd talked about. Here we are in the courtyard, having lunch in our makeshift catering area. \\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/462910_original-3599848602.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\">\\r\n\\r\nHere's our editor, Anna, who started up the courses by teaching creative writing.

But she was totally fine with it, and she's good friends with one of the Curtis Brown agents, so it's all good. This was the first time Anna had dealt with an illustration course - there's a lot more visuals involved in the filming, so the camera crew has to move around a lot more. But it was a great challenge, and I'm so curious to see how the final footage will come out. Thanks to Anna, \u003Ca href=\"http://www.hadleybrothers.co.uk/\">Hadley Brothers\u003C/a> Tom, Malcolm and Jack, and sound engineer Chase Coley for all your patience!
