What You Miss

March 30, 2020 By Nancy Casey

Here in the New Abnormal, definitive, unqualified statements about the future are hard to make. Even the present is difficult to pin down. There are new topics of conversation, altered relationships, new routines and wannabe habits.

Today, write about the most solid thing you can: the past. Write about what you miss.

Ask yourself:

What has been snatched from my life that I would really like to have back?

Ask yourself:

Why did I like that? What was good about it?

Fill a page by describing one or more things that you miss and explaining why you liked it.  You own your happy memories. Now is a good time to make use of them.

Illustrate your page. Give it a title and write down the date.

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.
