Spring Writer Retreat
I will be heading out later today for my Spring Writer Retreat. For this retreat, I will be house-sitting a fellow author who is going on a two-week vacation.
The plan is to write the entire 1st draft of a new novel in 14 days. These are the key components to success:
- Already have a verbose outline (16 pages)
- Detailed character sheets, including actor photos that would play each primary and secondary part.
- Food and drink for all 14 days.
- No Distractions.(email, FB, X, news, TV, nothin)
- Take my own comfy office chair.
- Write 8 to 10 hours each day.
- Morning and Afternoon walks.
- Average 6,000 to 10,000 words a day.
- Hammer through the entire 1st draft with no self-editing.
- Document my daily word count.
- Share that word count daily with people who will keep me accountable.
- No excuses, no distractions, no escape...
This will be my 5th solo Writer Retreat. Wish me luck!!
