Alphabet Primer (Creativity Matters Podcast 486)

Morning stories, a window view, an alphabet primer, and updates from the illustrated journal

Episode 486 of the CMP, a Creativity Matters Podcast — Morning stories, a window view, an alphabet primer, and updates from the illustrated journal

In this episode, some updates and vignettes:

  • A bit about the “Morning Stories” and the looking out the window (these are posted weekly on the substack or daily at Instagram)

  • A funny pronunciation conundrum with a new-to-me word: abecedary

  • A lot of illustrated journal work and Illustrate Your Week prompts, which have led to Popeye, Spock, and animal cracker moments

  • Reference to an old show: Three Things (EP 353)

An abecedary is an alphabet written out (possibly on stone, historically), or an alphabet primer or sorts.

Related words: abecedarius, abecedarian, abecedarium.

Two sources with sample pronunciation of one of these words:

My notes are short this week, and this is the only podcast for May. Note: the audio sounded odd to me when I listened back. I am not sure what happened. Apologies if it sounds somehow like I was in a hollow space.
