If you want to be a writer, you must do two things above all others: read a lot and write a lot.

Writers, if you are someone like me, who never finds enough "quiet time" and "peace" to write uninterrupted, then a writer's retreat sounds like what you need. Getting out of our routine life, seeing a new environment and hanging out with a community that is doing what we are doing, can be a richly rewarding experience. 

Think of a writer's retreat as a solo-holiday with a bonus of uninterruppted writing time, sessions on writing, chilling in a cosy cottage reading, and not having to worry about anything for a few days, except writing. No matter which level of expertise you believe you are at, you can come with me on a writer's retreat and not just write, but unwind, brainstorm, walk, sleep, ideate and generally do whatever makes you inspired and re-energized to write!

Imagine, no responsibilities, no doorbells to answer and no interruptions. Just you, your writing tools and your books with a group of writers who are exactly in search of the same quietude and a short but highly productive break from the humdrum of the city. 

If you are starting out on your writing journey, or have already been writing for a while, and you feel you need the last push to get to something that refuses to start or finish, or deal with the ambiguities of your manuscript that simply needs a new perspective, or a deadline that appears to have become a moving target, then join me this year on a writer's retreat at the end of the year. 

Let's do this together.
