A Big Fat Pen

February 11, 2019 By Nancy Casey

Sometimes your writing practice can feel like a burden. How can you make time to write a page in a busy day when already there is not enough time for what you must do?

Easy. Write the page with a big fat pen. The biggest pen you can find. Or a crayon. Or even your finger dipped in mud.

Let go of ideas about how you must pen literary paragraphs or tell a long and meaningful story.

Notice how the rhythm of your writing alters with a great big pen.  So does the rhythm of your thoughts.

The page will be full in less time than it takes to brush your teeth.

Be sure to give your work a title. Illustrate it if you like.  Write the date on it as well. Add additional decoration to the page if you are so inclined.

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.
