What You Don’t Know

June 19, 2018 By Nancy Casey

Write a series of sentences that have two parts.  In the first part, state something that you know.  It can be anything that you are sure of. Begin with the words, “I know…” 

Begin the second part of the sentence with the phrase, “…but I don’t know…”  Write whatever comes to mind.  If the second part of the sentence doesn’t seem related to the first part, don’t worry about it.

It might help to think about words that commonly follow the word know.  Words like who, what, when, where, why, if, that, how…

After you have filled a page, go back through what you have written.  Put a question mark over the things you don’t know but wish you did.  Put a smiley face over the things that you are glad you don’t know.  Are there things that get no mark?

When you have finished be sure to give your work a title.

Here is a more detailed 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.
