Well done you!! And great to see someone being positive about social workers for a change.

Naomi

Thanks Naomi!

They're not such a bad bunch!!

Hi Stuart

Interesting article - well done on getting it published.

I work for a mental health charity in the Highlands, and we get 'Community Care' delivered to us, so I'll look forward to reading it again 'in the flesh', as it were

Thank you Astrea!

You know what, I was totally unaware it was available by any other means than online!!

Excellent!

If I keep on being nice to my social work colleagues they may even lend me a copy!!!

Hmm, I think it should be in the printed version too - I'll have a look at the next issue and let you know.

I think I recognise your novel from the 'Nicola Morgan' blog, don't I? (My 25 word pitch was for 'The Girl On Winter's Hill.)

Good to see you here on WriteWords

That's the one. Nicola is great isn't she??

I did like your 25 worder! Is it a book you are writing/have written or just an idea?

Stu

I'm 18 chapters into it, planning to finish by the end of this year and then be brave and try to attract agent interest.

It's going reasonably well at the moment, so fingers crossed I can keep up the momentum.

Just had a look at your blog, well done for getting your 'platform' together in advance of publication!

I think I'd be careful about posting too much of your novel online, though - published authors will be able to advise better than me, but I'm sure I've read that anything more than snippets could end up causing difficulties further down the line.

Best of luck with this, though

Keep going Astra! It will be worth it in the end!

And thanks for checking out the Blog. I've very new to all this kind of think so it's very much a try it and see kind of thing!

If you could 'join' the Blog that would be great!

Consider me joined up! This is mine:

Congratulations!

Nicola's blog is great, isn't it. Such a mine of good stuff.

Emma

Thank you Emma. I feel really encouraged!!!

Hi Stu,

I read your article and sent a mail, did you get it? It was from the blog. I think you are very passionate about your work. I do believe you know what compassion is. That was the important thing that came over to me.

Hi!

Thank you so much for reading it and for your kind comments. I don't think I got the email though. Where did you send it to?
