#ScribesAndMakers Oct 8 - Do you engage in multiple creative activities or stick to one?
I mainly stick with just the writing. Webguy’s got me well enough trained to be able to upload stuff to my website.
I also come up with ideas for my book covers and web banners which Robin then makes real.

Epiphyte, from Ancient Greek ἐπιφύτον, epiphúton, one plant that grows upon another plant, from ἐπί, epí, on top of, + φυτόν, phutón, plant, via epi-, above, over, + -phyte, plant.
Meaning: a plant that grows on another, using it for physical support but obtaining no nutrients from it and neither causing damage nor offering benefit (botany); fungus that grows on a plant but does not feed upon it saprotrophically, an epiphytic fungus (biology).
The picture shows a close-up of a gnarled branch densely carpeted in feathery moss and delicate lichen.
This is a form of symbiosis, other forms can be either beneficial or detrimental to the host. An epiphyte is neither of these.

Does your editing process tend towards addition or reduction?
I reckon it balances out.
I tend to find myself trying to shorten dialogue to make it more succinct, but at the same find I’m garnishing descriptive passages to add to the atmosphere.
I guess I also attempt to shorten sentences in general ‘co sometimes I do go on a bit.

I’m just heading up to Glasgow for FantasyCon.
This is a first for me and I’m finding the programme a little overwhelming.
I write urban fantasy, usually involving magic and the supernatural and I'm looking to get traditionally published.
I’d welcome any suggestions on which panels I might find most useful.
Is anybody from Mastodon attending? It would be nice to meet up for a chat if you are.

I’ve just published chapter 5, the third of my short stories from Tales From the Demi-monde, where one of my secondary characters gets to stand centre stage.

If you do decide to take a look at it I'd be grateful for any feedback.
Enjoy!

What is it with Americans and they way they think they can commandeer iconic characters from English literature and assign them a National Day under the American dating system?
According to the Yanks today is National Mad Hatter Day, which is completely incorrect, it should be the 10th of June to reflect the English price tag on his hat showing 10/6 or ten shillings and sixpence.
