Mewsings from a Bardic Bird 🌟 Meddle - 03-06-23

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: Meddle

Today’s Mewsing: How to meddle appropriately is one of the largest tasks for a writer to figure out.

Words have power, whether we intend for them to or not.

Stories encourage – and discourage – whether we intend for them to or not.

What stories do we – do you – desire to support?

Which stories do you wish to not support?

By the answers to those questions, you will begin to have your answer.

Chirp, chirp! 🎢

Both Mike and I heartily recommend β€˜Writing the Other’ as a resource for writers to learn how to respectfully write characters who are different from themselves. And in this case, meddle appropriately.
