Writing Retreats are Not Bougie: Why Writing Retreats Should be a Part of Your Regular Writing Practice
Manage episode 382358417 series 2895277
On episode 19 of the podcast, I’m giving a pep-talk on the importance of writing retreats for your regular writing practice. Yes, I just ran my first writing retreat, so I’m still glowing from that amazing experience, but this pep talk isn’t about me. It’s about you and all the benefits you will gain from adding writing retreats to your writing life.
Some of the benefits of attending writing retreats include:
- Increased productivity in your writing
- Improved self-confidence as a writer
- Access to a wider writing network
- Increased creativity energy
Even our literary ancestors knew how beneficial it was to run away and write, so of course I’ll be bringing their perspective to my pep talk as well.
By the way, I’m making a big announcement at the end of the episode, so be sure to listen all the way to the end!
