Writer's Retreat for One

Producing on deadline is exhausting and a necessary part of the writer's work. Whether you are writing to publish or writing between breaks from your other job, between your child's school hours, or even early in the morning before the others in the house wake and you have to head out the door.

Yes, we have learned how to write in slivers of time. But the work deserves more and so do we.

Plan a writer's retreat for one. Whether it's a couple of days at the beach or a couple of hours on a Wednesday morning in a room in your house where you can go deep into a single project and work undisturbed and undistracted (put that phone away) setting longer blocks of time away to write is an important way to develop better work and feel better while writing.

For more on creating space to write and the ups and downs of publishing your work, join on Simply Write community at https://simplywrite.substack.com

You'll be better for it and so will the work.
