Not A Virus

March 23, 2020 By Nancy Casey

You certainly know by now that there’s a virus going around. The fact that it is almost everywhere is also the fact that it is not everywhere.

Today in your writing, expand the space in your mind that is unrelated to this pandemic that we are in.

Choose a memory from 10 months or 10 years ago. Make a list. Observe colors. Order your thoughts with the alphabet. Just don’t write about the thing that seems to be on everyone’s mind.

Of course, all thoughts can lead to virus-thoughts. Money thoughts. Health thoughts. Political thoughts. Thoughts about why you might be worried, angry, scared or even relieved. Don’t write down any of those thoughts.

Use your pen to show your mind that your personal universe is much larger than this bad situation. Remember that an atom is comprised mostly of empty space.

Oh yes, and take care of yourself.

After you have filled a page, give your work 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.
