Just Jars

December 9, 2019 By Nancy Casey

Write about jars.

A jar that’s in front of you. One you remember or invent. What are the most prominent jars in your life story?

Or write about the contents of jars. What is in them and what is not. How are they labeled?

Think about jars metaphorically. Jars of affection. Jars of time. Jars of forgotten events. What would you like to find in a jar? What would you like to put in a jar to preserve until a later date?

What does it mean when something is inside a jar? Is a jar that has been smashed still a jar?

Write anything at all, as long as there is at least one jar in it.

Illustrate your work if you like. When you have finished, give it a title and write the date on it.

News and Events

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


Looking for an art project that is secretly full of math? Or a math project that results in interesting art? Equilateral Triangle is an Inquiry Pack full of project ideas that will keep you thinking for a long time.


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.
