In this group\, writers introduce themselves and are provided optional fiction\, poetry and nonfiction prompts to work on for 60-70 minutes of sustained silent writing time\, though they are more than welcome to work on their own projects instead. Small group breakout sessions at the end of our time together encourage participants to share and respond to work generated during the session\, or just get to know the other writers in the group. \n  \nAll meetings take place in-person at The Seattle Public Library Fremont Branch. View their calendar here. \n  \nSpace is extremely limited due to class size\, registration is on a first-come\, first-served basis. The library does not require masks though they are strongly recommended and free masks are provided.  \n  \nAbout Write with Hugo House (in partnership with the Seattle Public Library) \nWrite with Hugo House is a free drop-in writing circle for all ages and genres of writing.

The session will begin with introductions and a short warm-up\, after which we’ll read two separate poems and write in response to those. At times writers will be invited to create community through sharing words or ideas with other writers in small groups. Attendees will leave the class with 2-3 new drafts of poems. Designed for all writers\, this group supports poets as well those working in other genres\, as the skills practiced in poetry can be thought of as “cross-training” for memoir and fiction\, too. \n  \nAbout Write with Hugo House (in partnership with the Seattle Public Library) \nWrite with Hugo House is a free drop-in writing circle for adults of all ages and genres of writing.

Together\, we'll explore everything from the anxiety of exposure to ego need and envy—without judgment or platitudes. The best part? No question is off limits: Can I tell the truth about my abusive parent? Is it wrong to be jealous of a famous friend? What if I’m just not good enough? At the center of our discussion is radical question: Is it possible to view moments\, and even eras\, of creative doubt as necessary and even essential to our artistic growth? How can we move from anxiety and self-loathing to a posture or forgiveness and curiosity. This is a session for anyone who's ever struggled to get going—and keep going—at the keyboard. \nAfter the talk\, Steve Almond will be joined by Tim Keck for a moderated conversation about craft\, the writing life\, and beyond. \nThe Bar will be open to serve NA and alcoholic beverages. As an added bonus\, we’ll enjoy the world-famous cookies from Seattle's own Hello\, Robin Cookies. \nBooks\, provided by our friends at Elliott Bay Book Company\, will be available for purchase and signing after the event. \nThis event is free and open to the public. \nPLUS\, don't miss Steve Almond's class A Wrinkle in Time: How to Master Chronology on April 9 at 5:30 pm PT!
