A Tale of a Table

November 4, 2019 By Nancy Casey

Find a table. They are everywhere–in houses and restaurants, on sidewalks and in parks, at work. You also have tables in your memory and in your imagination.

Write a story, true or invented, that includes this table.

You could write the history of this table in the world, or the history that a person has with this table. Your history, or someone else’s.

Write anything at all, as long as it has this table in it.

Consider writing from different points of view. What story would the table tell? What would the lamp or dinner guests have to say?

When you have filled a page, give your work a title.  Add some illustration, too, if you like.

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.
