Love your writing retreat space. I've been thinking I need to do that. It's so easy to get sidetracked by all the things. Thanks for sharing where you were with this and inspiring me to find a way to make more space for writing.

It is so, so easy. And you think that you won't be distracted, but you will... Let me know how the inspiration goes in the New Year. Merry Christmas xx

That’s so interesting. When I wrote my book I wasn’t really in the writing groove elsewhere so it’s good to bear that in mind as I go in with this current book. Thank you for writing again. 🙏🏻

I understand you. When I had a final paper to write for my studies, I joined a creative writing course. It may sound insane but was the sanest thing to do. I had work writing, school writing and I needed the “writing for me” joy.
