Hello everyone,

During this month’s gathering of the Hatch, our virtual hour for paid subscribers, we read two passages—one from Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert and one from The Writing Life by Annie Dillard and reflected on the many ways creative inspiration can appear and how to catch it (by the tail, if need be) when it does.

Below, you’ll find a video replay of the hour, along with a written recap of my talk, the reading, and a variety of prompts. If you watch it and spend the hour journaling, will you leave a comment and let us know how it went? We love nothing more than to hear from you.

Warmly,

Holly
