Time for Action!

August 27, 2018 By Nancy Casey

Look around you and make a list of the things you see.  Write each item on a separate line on the left-hand side of the page, skipping a line between each one.

Next to each item on the list, write a sentence that describes what that thing is doing.  Even when your first thought is that the thing is sitting there doing nothing.  You might have to twist your perspective a bit and see things from the point of view of the pillow flopped on the couch or the couch remembering better days.

Be sure to give your work a title and write the date on it somewhere. Add artwork, color, and decoration as needed.

Here is a more detailed version of these directions.

News and Events

Nancy blogs weekly for the Latah Recovery Community Center, sharing writing ideas that support self-awareness and self-esteem.


Looking for an art project that is secretly full of math? Or a math project that results in interesting art? Equilateral Triangle is an Inquiry Pack full of project ideas that will keep you thinking for a long time.


Writing classes and workshops

In-person Write-For-You workshops at the Latah Recovery Center have been suspended for a bit, but you can still do the writing prompts on your own. For more information, about the Write for You program, or if you are in recovery and interested in writing coaching, contact Nancy.
