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.

May this wonderful, brilliant, generous human being rest in eternal peace. RIP, Dr. Mauro. Until we meet again.
