We all know how refreshing time away can be when we go on vacation or go to a conference. What if you could bring this vibe to your writing? In this episode of The Written Compass,, I share the power of writing retreats. And, guess what, you don’t have to actually go anywhere. I share different ways you can “retreat” and how this can really support you in getting the actual words down in a timely and intensified way. Be sure to comment and share with me the different ways you are planning your next writing retreat!
