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

Sweet Relief!

October 5, 2020 By Nancy Casey

Tell a story of a disaster that didn't happen. One that you really thought was going to hit you. Until it didn't. Begin with the moment you knew the disaster was averted. Did the understanding come with a word? a gesture? what you saw or smelled? Starting with that moment, tell as much or as little of the rest of the story as you like. If there's still room on the … [Read more...] about Sweet Relief!

A Turning Point, Alphabetically

September 28, 2020 By Nancy Casey

Think about a turning point in your life. Big or small. A turning point can arrive on an event or a thought. You might notice a turning point as you pass through it, or only come to understand it in retrospect. Write the letters of the alphabet, in any order, down the center of the page. Choose a word that begins with each letter. On the left side, write a phrase or … [Read more...] about A Turning Point, Alphabetically

Mysterious Eating

September 7, 2020 By Nancy Casey

Write about something you ate. Wonderful, horrible, nutritious, junk, whatever it was. Describe where you were by providing details of what you saw or heard, but not details that identify the place. If you describe who you were with, provide details that won't identify the person. Begin by writing, "Once, I ate..." Include other details about when this was, if you … [Read more...] about Mysterious Eating

Where There’s a Chair

August 31, 2020 By Nancy Casey

Begin by drawing a chair that fills up the whole page. A real chair or an imaginary one. A sketch is fine. As long as the chair is as big as the page. Your drawing divides the page into sections somehow. In each section, write something about a chair. A chair you have known. One you have forgotten. The best (and worst) qualities of chairs. A chair that isn't a chair at … [Read more...] about Where There’s a Chair

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.
