Happy paperback pub day! Hope it’s a festive week! And I never thought about an at-home writers retreat with friend check-ins via zoom. That’s a good idea.

Thank you, Sarah! And you should do it if you can. It's really motivating :)

There's one down south in Virginia, Porches: https://www.porcheswritingretreat.com/, and for North Carolina affiliated writers, there's Weymouth: https://weymouthcenter.org/

And a big hell yes to retreat time and writing with friends!

I wish we had opportunities like this where I live. The best I can get is a private room in a library, but it works. I managed to finish a first draft surrounded by writer friends working on their stuff too. I’m glad you had such a wonderful retreat!

A private room in a library sounds wonderful too! Glad you can find someplace quiet and out of your home.
