What could be better than going on holiday? Well, if you’re a writer, the answer is probably ‘going on a writing holiday’. Because, let’s face it, going on a normal holiday, where it’s supposed to be about relaxation, or exploring, or adventures, or hedonistic levels of partying, is never going to offer the writer the same thrill they feel as getting into the writing zone and spending an intense period of creative time with their own words.
If you’ve never been on a writing retreat before, get it on your radar. Imagine the benefits of devoting a period of uninterrupted leisure time to pursuing your passion. And don’t think that there’s only one type of retreat, and that it involves solitary confinement and never speaking to another human being. That would be heaven for some writers, and hell for others but whatever kind of writer you are – there’s a writing retreat to suit you and open up new doors for your work.
