I love this! It’s a great reminder to stick with your promises to yourself. Also, spending a few hours exploring by yourself can be such a fabulous way to explore new places.
I'd been planning to book myself into to a week long retreat in the coming months (Prospect Street Writers House in Vermont) to try to finish a 2nd draft but I've learned they're not scheduling between February and May. Looking for something similarly priced in hopes of getting seven uninterrupted days.
I’m going to have have to Retreat in Place. Can I ignore all the distractions of NYC, family, dog, refrigerator and smart phone for even 5 straight days and do nothing but exist in my draft? About to find out. I begin Tuesday 🙏

Thank you! It’s okay to gate keep that time and space. Everybody wins and as you say, there are excellent opportunities to explore.

Now that sounds like heaven. Could you go later in the year? Or even booking an Airbnb somewhere could be just as useful.

Well good luck. It’s a challenge but it is doable.
