You’ve been cooped up for weeks now….trying to fight off ‘cabin fever‘ which is a real thing. The term originated during the long, confined dark winters in the Yukon and Alaska during the turn of the 19th century. Gold miners and fur trappers would be confined to their cabins for months on end. Usually with their business partner, another male, (seldom was a woman around during these early days of panning and trapping.) The hardiest of these men would go slightly crazy and had even been known to kill their partner in a fit of crazed rage.
Another writing exercise I would like to suggest is to write a letter to your dad, mom, your child. Write the truth. It might even spark the beginnings of a story as you remember the good times, the hard times growing up, the view of a new world through your child’s eyes.
Cabin fever sparked the trivia part of my brain as I remembered this little snippet of fact and started me writing this post.
