A Letter from the Grand Hotel

June 15, 2020 By Nancy Casey

Imagine that you are staying in a splendid vacation spot. Someplace with the best amenities and services.

Imagine also that you have a friend who didn’t want to come with you. Write a letter to that friend telling them how wonderful this Grand Hotel is. Make it sound so wonderful that they will be sorry they didn’t accompany you.

The only constraint: every detail that you you describe must come from your own home and surroundings.

To make your page resemble a letter even more, draw a border about an inch wide around the whole thing–like a sheet of stationery might have. Draw a rectangle at the top of the frame so you can put a title in it when you have finished.

Every time you have to pause to think up what to write, decorate the frame.  Make it so that your pen is always moving, either drawing or writing, until the page is done.

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.
