2. Next, think about how much time you can spend away and what times of year are easiest for you to escape for a few days or weeks.
3. After that, look for writing retreats that have the type of weather or temperatures you’ll be comfortable with during the time of the retreat.
4. The last thing I want you to consider when looking for a writing retreat are the goals you have for your writing.
