Standing Up in Silence

December 15, 2017 By Nancy Casey

Before you begin to write, move around a little bit in your chair and practice standing up without making the slightest grunting sound.  See if you can feel like you are floating effortlessly upward.

How can you do this?

While you are still seated, alert your body to what’s coming.  Get your feet underneath you.  Shift your weight so your spine flexes a little bit.  Scoot to the edge of the chair.  Look up at the ceiling. When you are ready, float to your feet.

Do this four times.  After the first two times, sit back down and write about what it felt like to stand up.  After the third time, sit back down and write about the day ahead.  After the fourth time, step into your day and enjoy the world around you.

Give your work a title and write the date on it.

Here is a longer version of these directions.

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.
