Writers write. Writing is writing. It’s basic math when it comes to producing exceptional work. However, most of us work ‘other’ jobs that come first in our lives. We serve our day job, and although it is not creatively enticing, it provides food and shelter and we like that. It is safe to say our creative dominance gets pushed aside. That is not fair to you as a writer and that is not fair to the world for not getting to see your work sooner than later. One of the biggest and most valued experiences for me as a writer has been investing in writer’s retreats.
