DEMENTIA NEWS. MAKING HEADLINES IN THE ERA OF DIGITAL PAPER.

I hit the headlines.
   In the interests of reportage, I'll reproduce a screenshot below. As for attribution, the editor is Jon Pollard, or, on the Twitter, @hippy_jon.
   His digital newspaper printer is an outfit called Paper.li. The service creates a newspaper out of Twitter moments. Scroll down any of these newspapers, and you'll be invited to create your own publication.

   However, I'll add that, out of politeness, when possible, go to the source and ask if it is okay to use material. You can argue that fair dealing or fair use concepts are in play...but some people will drag you through the courts for the hell of the inconvenience to you - even on a losing proposition.

I was hoping to throw in a larger reproduction of that, but Blogger is effing around with me. As usual. Anyway, use your own zoom buttons.
   If you don't, they'll drop off.

This blog started and stopped. I was going to put fiction on here. Nothing. Tumbleweeds would've caused excitement. Then I tried again, and I planned to run fiction here.
   It was an okay plan the first time, but the second time I meant it. I meant it the first time, but writing stood in the way of my writing.

Until non-fiction bludgeoned me. Life gets in the way, and all that. Now I'm trying to work out the best way to write a book on dementia care...
   And by that, I mean how to write a book that wouldn't knock me unconscious if I tried to read it. Non-fiction comes with a boredom warning. Fiction should come with one, too.
   Eventually, I forced myself to blog about dementia caring. At least, then, the notion of a book would be out in the open. Given an airing.

Inevitably, I used DEMENTIA in blog posts and post titles. This is how you make the news, on the Paper.li circuit. Sorcery. The strange magic of the newspaper that is run along lines of specialised interest.
   I could start a Paper.li rag called BANK ROBBER NEWS. Or SOMETHING FEATURING FERRETS. And so on. There might be a strange crossover, with stories featuring in both.
   On that note, I'll return to dementia caring and plod on with writing this book.
