    Yes! I'm a writer and have always wanted to go on a writing retreat but there's never been one that I've known of in my area. And I don't have very many writing friends to gather to do one myself.

    Hell yes ! More writing retreat ! I'm an introvert myself but I believe strongly in energies being transmitted and being surrounded by creatives can only enhance mine, as I can for others. I love your writing themed videos in particular ! I can't wait to know more on project red and read it 😍

  • @p.4051
    @p.4051 5 років тому +5

    I wish there was some kind of "online writing retreat" (because I live in Brazil and don't have writers friends - which is sad and annoying since I have no one to talk about this crazy creative process that by itself it's already a lonely journey). Anyway... wish you luck with Project Red - can't wait to read.

    At 05:30, when you almost spill the name of your book, I smiled over how cute you react! How great it is, to have a secret like you have with your book and how hard it is, then not to say the name you have in your head for years. I can relate to that a lot! Can't wait to read Project Red! Greetings from Germany!

  • @AlecsandriaM
    @AlecsandriaM 5 років тому

    I though you were going to start with "wine, lots of it". But yesss, writing retreats. I've been trying to go on one for so long, but I always feel like I am too pretentious to go on one if I am not yet published, even if I know it would make a lot of difference to my work. Congrats on finishing your first draft!!

  • @MsLPSFOREVER

  • @TheAquamarine4
    @TheAquamarine4 5 років тому

    I would LOVE an affordable writing retreat!!! I also feel like stuff like that is super expensive and I have little options financially as I do not live off my own income, yet and I would love to go
    On a writing retreat. I rarely heard of writing retreats before seeing you and Taran Matharu and honestly now I’m a bit envious. I’m the type of person who needs part alone time and people time to be my most creative self, so yeah I would love this^_^ can’t wait to hear more about project Red it’s a genre I prefer more than space operas so yeah I’m super intrigued to see what you have for us.

  • @JessicaBrowneFiji
    @JessicaBrowneFiji 5 років тому

    Are you going to try to get Project Red published? Cause I really hope so. I would love to read it. From what you've described it. Also when are you going to reveal the title? Is it a standalone, duology, trilogy? I have so many questions.😄

  • @roseblack8856

    I would love a way to participate in a writing retreat. I fell out of love with writing several years ago and have had trouble even wanting to bother prioritizing it even though I've technically started what's supposed to be a book, and more than likely a series. If this is something you do, sign me up for those updates!
