The writing Fest has been a great thing for me to sign up for and do especially during lockdown. I really miss being in physical spaces catching up with what everyone else is doing and have a sense of being goal oriented. The writing retreats give me this, I am able to connect with others and write between 500-1000 words and consume less calories! thank you!

Big Success, I have managed to stop procrastinating and got going on the final push of my Doctoral Thesis thanks to WriteFest Yippee, nearly there.

I find writing retreats great for just keeping on chipping away at my thesis. I'm so much further along than I would have been without them.

For me it's about signing up, turning up and doing it... rather than not. The group ethos and support are really positive. Even the slot appearing in my calendar is positive. Everyone is doing their own thing. Sometimes it goes really well and sometimes it doesn't, but I'm just keeping on chipping away at it... and it will get done.

Thank you to to all my fellow writing retreaters for your presence and support.

Just used the writing retreat to bully myself into eating the frog. Now I know what I'm doing and can start chowing down on the smaller, more appetising frogs.

(No frogs were harmed in this metaphor).

I've done more work during the retreats than I've done in the past 6 months. Thank you.

I'm naturally a very slow writer and easily get frustrated but these sessions really help me to keep focussed and stay motivated.
3 paragraphs and a formatted table - It feels good to be able to keep on chipping away at the thesis :)

I wrote a section of a chapter today! One more section and the chapter is finished
