A Story From Your Life

January 11, 2021 By Nancy Casey

Write a story from you life that fits on exactly one page. It can be a big story or a little one. A story full of drama and excitement, or one that is kind of boring. The story can take place in the past, the present, or the future. It can center on a place, a person, or an event. Before you start to write, put a dot in the middle of the page. As you write, when you … [Read more...] about A Story From Your Life

Day By Day

December 21, 2020 By Nancy Casey

How has this day--so far--unspooled differently from the way yesterday did? Changes from one day to the next can depend on the weather, the people you encounter, or your attitude. Changes might stem from the way your schedule works or from unscheduled events. Are you wearing different clothes? Have you eaten different food? Brushed your teeth at the same … [Read more...] about Day By Day

Randomly Reminding

December 14, 2020 By Nancy Casey

This is an exercise that helps you disorganize your thoughts, and connect them to something new. Write the letters of the alphabet down the left-hand side of the page. Next to each letter, write a word that begins with that letter, the first one that pops into your head. Return to the top and go back through your list. Next to each word write "reminds me of" and write … [Read more...] about Randomly Reminding

Choosing and Choosing

October 26, 2020 By Nancy Casey

Every time you do something that you could have done differently, you make a choice. Some choices determine our lives. Where to live, whether to change careers, how to frame our inner autobiography. We also make choices without thinking, out of habit. If we make a choice the same way every time, it's still a choice. Fill a page with choices that you have made, big and … [Read more...] about Choosing and Choosing

There’s Always Water Somewhere

October 12, 2020 By Nancy Casey

Tell a story from your life that has water in it. Which can be any story at all. If you are alive and on this planet, there is water nearby. In your body, for starters, and in other plants and animals. Not to mention lakes, rivers, and the ocean. There's water underground and in the sky. Water runs inside of pipes in a city or a home. It's in what we eat and what we … [Read more...] about There’s Always Water Somewhere

Writing classes and workshops

I had been looking forward to the 2020 summer season of in-person  Write-For-You workshops at the Latah Recovery Community Center.  Alas.

 

Congratulations to last summer’s students who earned certificates in Fiction Writing, Project Management and Grant Writing.

 

Applause and thanks to those who dropped by the classes just for fun.

 

If you are in recovery and interesting in writing coaching, contact Nancy.


 

Let’s Talk About It

A program that supports reading and discussion in libraries throughout the state of Idaho. Free and open to all. Somehow? Again? At a later date?

 

We are all looking forward to the time when it will be possible to resume these lively book discussions.

 

I’ve served as a scholar for this program for I-don’t-know-how-many years. I have found every book, every library, every group of people to be interesting and stimulating. Every discussion brings new ideas and surprises.

 

I’m confident that this program will evolve so that it can continue to bring Idahoans together through books. We just don’t know how or when that will happen.  Yet.
