Deciding to go on a writing retreat

May 1, 2019 By JB Lynn Leave a Comment

I’m a full-time novelist so it may sound strange to say that I decided to go on a writing retreat. But I did and it was totally worth it. This month I’ll be talking all about it!
Why go on a writing retreat?
I wanted to do something different to shake up my writing routine.  I had a project to finish, another I wanted to get started, and a fun, passion project I wanted to play with.
Also, I miss Spring. While there’s a lot to love about living in southwest Florida, one of the things I miss, being a NJ transplant, is the change of seasons.
I also wanted a change of topography. It’s soooo flat around here. I’m not exaggerating when I tell you that the average elevation in Sarasota is 16 feet. That’s not a typo, SIXTEEN!
So I decided to go to the Asheville, North Carolina area in mid-April. Spring! Mountains! No neighbors to get stuck talking to!
I made my plans in January, got the “business side” of my writing world squared away so I only had to focus on the creative end, packed my car, buckled in my dog, and took off.
But before we got to Asheville, we stopped in Georgia because there was something I wanted to try and someone I really wanted to meet!
I’ll tell you about those soon, but let me share the good omen that greeted me in Georgia.
When I was a kid, my favorite book was HORSE OF TWO COLORS so this scene made me happy.
