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.

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.
