Pick It Up and Put It Down

September 8, 2019 By Nancy Casey

You pick something up. You put it down somewhere else. Write about some of the many times this has occurred in your life.

Tell what you picked up.  Say where it was. Tell where you put it down.

You can include times when you engaged a person, a machine, or a tool to help with the picking up and putting down.

Are there things that you can pick up and put down that aren’t physical objects? You can pick up a bad case of the flu or an ear-worm tune, for instance, but these are not things that you can put back down.

Do the exercise a second time by going somewhere where you can observe people.  What do they pick up and put down?

When you have filled a page, be sure to 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.
