#ScribesAndMakers ~13 How pedantic are you?

The mushrooms taught me it's more important to be happy than pedantic.

Being on the receiving end of someone else who is pedantic will most likely trigger a trauma response for me.

How pedantic are you?

Where common usage doesn't cause problems and the details aren't the point, not at all. I'm happy to call a tomato a vegetable or a fruit depending on context (it's both), and I don't care whether Pluto is a planet.

Where fine distinctions matter […]

#ScribesAndMakers – 13th Sept. How pedantic are you?

I'm a rat-holer by nature, but a synthesist by training: I studied Philosophy. My brain hurts a lot.

Yes. I was in a group called photograpHER early in the pandemic. We shared our photographs online and then put together a book called […]

Have you ever been part of a collaborative group for your creative work?

I think the Shadows at the Door anthology counts, and the upcoming Glasgow Science Fiction Writer's Circle 40th year anthology "Haverin" (due out in October, you should buy one, it looks great)

I […]

A friend and I are writing a book on generating lesson plans for teachers: he's the teacher, I'm the nerd, and we both write professionally

Our next featured creator is an acronym. Do you use acronyms in your work?

I don't think I do, much. I don't think I've invented many for world-building, anyway.

I think the closest is RED or RD leading to the slur "ardie" in disOrder. It's not really an acronym; it's […]

#ScribesAndMakers ~10 Our next featured creator is an acronym. Do you use acronyms in your work?
Well, I have a few embroidery projects going on at the same time, including an SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism) project.

I am learning the new acronym for my National acupuncture license. It […]

As they near a small hamlet William feels Josée stiffen slightly and he looks round but can see nothing.
Speaking in a concerned low tone Josée remarks.
'I hear the boots of soldiers. When they get close we will embrace […]

I had to pivot last week for the photo challenge when I got food poisoning or gluten’d. The theme was reflections. I called this “Reflections on Invisible Illness”. It’s when everything looks […]

#ScribesAndMakers ~ Share something you've been working on this month.

I wrote one haiku, one longer-form poem and this week a new stream of consciousness-style prose poem. I favour flash prose poems.

I'm aiming for more prose poems this month.

#ScribesAndMakers ~8 Gauge?
The only time I think about gauge in my creative life is acupuncture needle gauges. I use 36 usually. Acupuncture needles gauges are very different from tattoo needle gauges but it's always fun to talk to tattoo artists about it.

My husband makes gauge squares before […]

Narrow. I'm the Pike's Peak cog railway

Glad you asked, rather than assumed.

#scribesandmakers 8 Sep - Gauge

She checked again, but there was no point. The fuel gauge said 60%. Of course it did. Every readout was digital, not one light was on because a physical circuit was closed, not one dial was a needle held in place by a real pressure or voltage. The whole control […]
