When the Pandemic is Over

March 1, 2021 By Nancy Casey

It ain't over yet. But it isn't permanent, either. All deadly global pandemics end sooner or later. Write about what your life will be like when the pandemic ends for you. Consider rekindled possibilities and lingering losses. Think about skills and habits, relationships--new and old. Is there something you can't wait to forget? Fill up a page by taking an … [Read more...] about When the Pandemic is Over

For the Love of Gloves

February 22, 2021 By Nancy Casey

Why would you put on a glove--or two? To protect your hands? From what? A person can wear gloves for purely fashion purposes, too. Today, write about one or more gloves you have known. What do they look like? Where did they come from? Tell any story from your life, as long as it has at least one glove in it. Give your work a title and write it at the top of the … [Read more...] about For the Love of Gloves

Pause and Relax

February 15, 2021 By Nancy Casey

What is your writing like when you are fully relaxed? Try this to find out. Leave room for a title at the top of your page. Then make 3 tiny dots evenly spaced down the center of the page, dividing the page into 4 imaginary sections. Plan to write about whatever pops into your mind. Before you write anything, place your hands on the table, breathe gently and relax your … [Read more...] about Pause and Relax

From Squiggles to Faces

February 8, 2021 By Nancy Casey

Begin by drawing a half-dozen or so random squiggles distributed more-or-less evenly around the page. Choose a squiggle and add a few more marks to it. Fiddle around with it until some kind of face emerges. When you notice the face, add to it. Turn all of the squiggles into some kind of face. Skip around. Add some words to go with each face. A caption, perhaps. Or a … [Read more...] about From Squiggles to Faces

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

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.
