I'll let my journal grow just like the mind does, just like a tree or a beast does, just like life does. Then what shall I write? I can't just write that this happened then this happened then this happened to boring infinitum. I open the book and write the very first words: My name is Mina and I love the night. I keep on saying that I'll write a journal. There's an empty notebook lying on the table in the moonlight. David Almond is also winner of the 2010 Hans Christian Andersen award.
