Unsolicited writing advice, no. #766: Writing is a community. Participate in it if you can. Engage with other writers. Lift them up, and they’ll do the same. Try to go it alone, or treat other writers as rivals, and you’re more likely to sink than swim.

Lewy body dementia affects 11 million people worldwide. It is predicted to increase dramatically in future.
We are looking forward to shining a light on the second most common cognitive impairment in older people on the second World Lewy Body Day.

Remembering my dad on World Lewy Body Dementia Day. He inspired the character of Tom in my YA book Fishsong. It's so important that people, incl teens, learn about this disease and the effects it could have on a loved one 1/2 #WorldLewyBodyDay #LewyBodyDementia #Dementia #YA #teenfiction #kidlit
