4 Hours with your WIP
Craving a solid block of writing time?
How often do you get four solid hours to pour your heart and soul into your WIP (work in progress)? At a Tiny Retreat, your job is to sit down and do nothing but play with your book or your blog or your collection of essays and immerse yourself in the experience of writing and storytelling. Someone else watches the clock, reminds you to eat, and keeps you hydrated.
You can have this every month.
4 Hours with other Writers
There’s something magical happening.
Call it body doubling. Call it drafting off each other’s energy. Call it being under the influence of positive peer pressure. Whatever you call it, writing in the company of other writers has many benefits and they are amazing and energizing. It’s a real phenomenon. I don’t know how it works (I’ll leave that to the folks studying collective neuroscience). It just does.
Come find the magic for yourself.
4 Hours with your Coach
I’m there to provide structure and focus.
My job is to give each writer inspiration, motivation, and accountability that is tailored specifically to their needs and working style in the moment, while keeping the group as a whole on track to having a successful and satisfying session. I have all kinds of tricks up my sleeve to do just that.
I game the system so you can thrive.
4 Hours with your Muse
She’s totally worth it. Right?
Give your muse the attention she deserves, away from the house and the dishes and the well-meaning interruptions of friends and fam who love to spend time with you and get your opinion on simply everything. They’re important in your life, but so is your muse, your need to write and create.
Spend time with your muse, guilt free
