Welcome to Create
This month, tell us whether you can see the wood/forest for the trees. Do you prefer the fine details or the wider picture? Send us photos or artwork, look at how each element adds (or subtracts) from the scene. Or go in for the fine detail, show us what you think is most important.
Write an Entry for the Guide, or send us a story or write a review, where the small details are vital to the main plot. The devil's in the details!

"A collaborative guide, one that was written and kept up to date by the people who used it, in real time, might be a neat idea. I just didn't really realise that such a thing might be possible in my lifetime or how powerful such a thing might be."
