Why Go to a Writer’s Retreat?

Why would I go away to a writer’s retreat to write when I can write at home, at my very own desk, with my cat and my favorite coffee mug?

1. To be free of distractions

A. I won’t be tempted to put up a load of laundry

B. Are we out of milk?

C. Yes, I am happy with my (long distance service, cable service, internet service, utilities supplier), click.

D. No, I am not available to (feed your cat, take your dog for a walk, pick up your dry cleaning). I AM WRITING!

2. To focus completely on you...
