The Value of a Writing Retreat


by Lynn H. Blackburn @LynnHBlackburn

Ten years ago, in 2015, I went on my first-ever solo writing retreat. (You can read about it here, Is a Writing Retreat Right for You!) 

My first book hadn’t come out yet, my children were still very young, and taking time away to write was still a novel concept. 

Fast forward to 2025 and how things have changed! My children are significantly more self-sufficient, my writing career has grown in ways I never dared to dream, and taking time away to write has gone from being a rare treat to a crucial part of my process.
