Pause and Relax

February 15, 2021 By Nancy Casey

What is your writing like when you are fully relaxed? Try this to find out.

Leave room for a title at the top of your page. Then make 3 tiny dots evenly spaced down the center of the page, dividing the page into 4 imaginary sections.

Plan to write about whatever pops into your mind.

Before you write anything, place your hands on the table, breathe gently and relax your entire body. When you feel a sense of relaxation, begin to write.

When you get to a dot, lay down your pen, spread your hands on the table, close your eyes and relax. Then relax some more. Continue on the same topic you began with, or start something new if your thoughts have changed.

When you get to the next dot, relax again. Then write some more.

Continue all the way down the page in this manner. Illustrate your work if you like. Give it a title. Write the date and your initials on it.

More thoughts on this topic.

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.
