Why You Should Plan a Writing Retreat -Even if You Don’t Think You’re Ready
In this solo episode I talk about the three reasons you should plan a writing retreat even if you don't think you're ready:
- Just because you start planning a writing retreat doesn’t mean you have to set a hard date. But thinking about the steps can get you more excited about it.
- No one get everything perfect the first time. The only way you’ll know if you’ve missed something or if something would have been better another way is to actually hold that first writing retreat.
- Writers are actively looking for dedicated writing time and a place to be around other writers. Be that person for them.
