Grant Writing Made Clear

Ever stared at a blank screen with a blinking cursor judging your life choices? Yep—same. In this episode, we're diving into something that could totally transform your writing process: writing retreats.

Whether you're buried under grant deadlines or trying to finally finish that manuscript, a writing retreat might be exactly what you need. Dr. Trenette shares her experiences—from organizing her first group writing retreat as a doctoral student to planning a focused, two-person writing getaway more recently. She outlines the major benefits (hint: productivity, clarity, and community) and offers practical tips to make your own writing retreat a success—whether solo, virtual, or ocean-view style.

Key Takeaways

• Why writing retreats work (and how to make them work for you)
• How dedicated time and space can dramatically increase your productivity
• The power of writing in community—even if it’s just one colleague
• Ways to structure your time to avoid burnout and stay motivated
