Conflate

To conflate is to blend or fuse together two sets of information – usually texts. When Rosemary J Kind and I worked on our joint book, she conflated her contribution with mine. The resulting conflation is From Story Idea to Reader.

I hope you are using all these fabulous words in your writing, Patsy.
You are the new Stephen Fry!

It’s nearly a cornflake!

I'm pleased to have increased your vocabulary.

I do try to squeeze a few in, Helen.

A conflake is a sort of conflation, Maggie - of corn, sugar and other stuff.

Not a conflaGRAtion, then?

As opposed to 'inflate' - hope the book continues to sell well.

The audio version is doing well, Susan. We've got some good reviews there too.
