    I didn’t know this: “Wild crows will hold a grudge for years against people who have treated them badly, and even teach other crows to mob their enemies.” Mental note to be more careful in future

    Great news . I cut out electric lighting/devices after 6pm & spent more time outdoors in mid-winter & it changed me. Read how, in my piece: & learn more about light's effects in my book, Chasing the Sun, published Jan 2019.

    PS: I’ve actually made my bedroom an “electronics-free zone”. No TV, no cell phone, no iPad (although I do have a reading light). After a week my average time to fall asleep dropped from 30-40 minutes down to 10-15. Much better than a sleeping pill. 😴 💤 🛏

    I have now written more than one book, so hopefully have learned something about the process. Here at the ten things I wish I knew when I started. I hope they help any budding authors out there! (Thread)
