Mewsings from a Bardic Bird 🌟 Labored – 02-28-23

πŸ’š πŸ€ πŸ’š

In Which I take the Word of the Day, reach out to the Creative Cauldron, and bring back a Mewsing for you on the subject of writing, magick, and the magick of writing.

The title piccy for the Mewsletter, containing a Most Kyoot + Fluffy Feline on the left with Rocko the Bold Circus Kitten kneading their furr and a large Raven flying over a red landscape on the right, all on a bed of Rocco the Cat's furr. Words are as follows and I do indeed quote: Mewsings from a Bardic Bird on (and from!) the Magick of Writing.

Today’s Word: Labored

Today’s Mewsing: Forced writing is labored writing. Not nearly as easy – or as pleasant – to read as writing which has flowed more freely.

On the other wing, forced is better than none.

Forced can be looked at again, edited, polished into a more attractive form.

None?

Not so much.

πŸ’š 🌻 πŸ’š

In Other Words: No matter how labored they may be, count words written as a victory. As I've mentioned before, it's extremely difficult to polish - or do anything else with - an unwritten word.

And that's your lot for today! Please to put a penny in the little box. ^shake, shake^

Chirp, chirp! 🎢

A young white woman with messily-styled short brown hair wearing large wire-frame glasses is sitting in a white modern-style chair with a desk to one side of her and a black-stemmed floor lamp (!) to the other side. On the top of the lampshade, Rocko the Bold Circus Kitten patrols the room, guarding the woman as she reads a book laying on her lap.   Her right leg is crooked on the chair. She’s wearing white pajama pants with thin black stripes and a brown-orange shirt with a pink-orange flowered half-moon with a few stars in the background over a greenish open book and the words β€˜I Read Past My Bedtime’ in script below the book.

Living is a day by day endeavor. Why not treat the reader in your life (purrhaps you?) to a gift now to reward for the daily doing? May we suggest this t-shirt acknowledging the depth (and duration) of your reading habit?
