You de-influenced me on the right time! I have been saving up for a writing retreat in France. And thinking that I will write a whole book at it - I haven't been writing anything at all. You're right. it's not about the place. But Actually Writing!
Ah, perfect timing!! Of course, I’m sure a writing retreat in France would still be wonderful. One thing I’m toying with doing is getting about 80% of my book done, then FINISHING it somewhere fun. Because then at least you know the bulk of the hard work is done and there’s that sense of achievement (and relief 😅)
I love this idea of the retreat being a state you're in, rather than a physical place. A friend and I got gifted a lovely glamping cabin and said we would go there to write together. In the end, we just sat there enjoying nature, chatting and drinking wine! lol
Absolutely!! It’s very much a nice-to-have, not a must-have. And when you look back in history, so much great literature was written in the most average places! We’re in great company haha

Thank you ☺️ And honestly, that still sounds like a trip well spent!! Sometimes you've just got to do what feels right (drinking wine lol)
