What’s Easy

February 1, 2021 By Nancy Casey

Write about something--or several things--that are easy for you. What are you good at? Did you have to learn how and practice? Or have you always been good at it without trying very hard. Consider physical activities or mental ones. Describe an activity that is easy for you and tell a little bit about your history with it. Describe another, and another. Until … [Read more...] about What’s Easy

Shadows

January 18, 2021 By Nancy Casey

Describe some shadows. If there is the slightest bit of light, there will be shadows. Some shadows are dark. Some are faint. The more you look for them, the more shadows you see. Look for colors in the shadows. What are their shapes? Write about the kinds of things you can see if you only pay attention to shadows. Illustrate your work if you like. Give your page … [Read more...] about Shadows

Well-made Things

January 4, 2021 By Nancy Casey

Write in praise of some of the well-made things in your life. Consider functional objects like tools and machines. The things that are so well-made you barely notice you are using them. Spaces, public and private, can be well made. Parts of a city or town. Workspaces. Closets. Think about pieces of music, art or entertainment. What is it about the way they have been … [Read more...] about Well-made Things

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

‘Tis the Season

November 30, 2020 By Nancy Casey

There are more to seasons than just weather. Any set of circumstances that arrives, then leaves, and then returns again constitutes a season. Seasonal cycles can be minutes, days, months or even years long. Laundry season. Snow-shoveling season. Global pandemic season. Invent names for some of the seasons you are experiencing now. Use hyphenated names that describe an … [Read more...] about ‘Tis the Season

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


 

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.
