It was nice not having to worry about food or cleaning, and having the occasionally entertainment to balance things was helpful too.Crystal Collierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03912469552483168148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18714294.post-39323201809996019492018-01-10T12:09:53.354-06:002018-01-10T12:09:53.354-06:00Alex and Maria, I generally don't get to write...Alex and Maria, I generally don't get to write for extended periods of time anyway, so it would be nice to get out and walk between writing sessions. <br /><br />Pat, I find that I can be more productive when I'm somewhere else; I guess I have to focus on writing to justify the time to myself. It's hard finding time I can go somewhere by myself, though.Sandra Ulbrich Almazanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15365908651235829765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18714294.post-86732548942093337642018-01-10T08:55:33.778-06:002018-01-10T08:55:33.778-06:00Most are too expensive for me but I usually do at ...Most are too expensive for me but I usually do at least a little writing on vacation. It's fun to check out the coffee shop and Panera Bread scene in different places.

I think I'd be like Alex and not want to write. :)<br /><br />The workshop was a game changer for me though. It immediately took my writing to the next level and gave me many aha moments.Maria Zanninihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01604862636922299273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18714294.post-51663843062331584322018-01-10T05:39:30.512-06:002018-01-10T05:39:30.512-06:00I've never been to one.
