I want to go on a writing retreat one day. It sounds really peacefull and like you could really get some writing done.
You can book a room at a local hotel and go there and write there. There, a local writing retreat. You just need to walk/bike/run/drive there. But at least there is no airfare or trainfare. If you have a lot of money to spend, then you can spend it on a luxury hotel. If not, then a little cheap motel would do just fine. If you have no money to spare, then well, you can just visit the local library and do some writing there. Nice and free. 🙂
The Michigander in me was super happy to see Michigan! We do love our fudge up north, lol. I have lived here my whole life and i have yet to actually go to Mackinac Island (oh the shame!) in fact, this summer was the first time I went to the UP 😮. Been up north to other places loads of time. But my kids are obsessed with the idea of Mackinac Island so we will go one day!
This retreat looked like so much fun. The ideal balance of work and play time and exploring. Plus, not an overwhelming amount of people. Glad you had fun!
Just what I needed for a cold winter day. A Kate Cavanaugh ascetic writing video.
I am absolutely in love with the little schedules that Wallis put together for each day, this whole retreat sounds so perfect
I would love to go on a writing retreat! It looks so cosy and like you had so much fun.x
This was so relaxing to watch! I want to go on a writing retreat someday! 😊
As a michigander, I've been to Mackinac Island several times and it still amazes me each time. So glad you love it!
It was BEAUTIFUL.
Your shots of the ripples of the lake look So WILD. like the ripples going one way and then bigger ripples going another. So cool! (It feels like a clue in a mystery novel that's hidden in plain sight.)
this looks fantastic, love the schedule
aaaa so cool seeing you explore mackinaw!! im a michigan native and me and my family go every summer hehehe it's cool to see someone experience it for the first time
This was shot so beautifully! I'm glad ya'll had a blast!
love this video. so cozy and warm this is exactly the type of retreat I would go on. And fudge! lol we Michiganders sure do love fudge and going up to Mackinac Island every year. watching this video makes me look forward to summer. i used to go up there all the time when I was little but watching this making me want to go up there again lol.
I am dying to go on a writing retreat! I would love to have one in the mountains in a little cabin!
SO glad you got some good footage of the bike ride bc it was so magical. Thank you for putting up another vlog I can watch when nostalgia for WITM hits, lol. 💕 It was so lovely to meet you, and thanks for making the week even better!
I want to go on a NaNoWriMo/writing retreat so bad! Looks amazing!
Michigan! I love living here so much, and videos like these remind me I need to get out and enjoy the nature more often!
I haven't been recently bc its too cold and ugly (everything is bare, dead, or hidden away), we haven't had good long-term snow yet, and this time of year that's the only motivating factor to go out and see
All the b roll is just soooo lovely! What a cozy setting
It was the coziest!!!
This was so beautiful, cozy and fun! It inspired me to go on a retreat myself this year :) thank youuu
I love those Michigan Chillers covers!
My husband’s grandparents used to work at Mackinac (he with the horses and she in the kitchen.)
This looks so cozy! Ive gone to a few personal writing retreats at Highlights in PA, and it wasn't a structured retreat like this (though they do have those! Personal retreats (or they used to be called Unworkshops) were all up to your own decision). I love the idea of going on a week long retreat though, all of mine were over long weekends. You should def visit the Highlights Retreat Center some time! It's great!
OMG "unworkshops," I love that! I'll have to look into that, thank you for the recommendation!!
Looks like it was such a fun retreat!
I'm saving your video because of all the beautiful sounds you captured of the trees and the water❤ will try to capture them in my stories 😍 Hope to one day have a group of friends to do something like this with
This looked fun. Reminded me of going to Orson Scott Cards boot camp. That was sooooo fun. Wish I could do it again.
fantastic retreat! thanks for sharing. Hugs and love
That looked like lots of fun! One day I would love to go on a writing retreat somewhere. Finding a good CP is a must! :)
Oh heck yeah. About to get some writing done, perfect timing as always Kate. I also can't wait to watch, I love writing retreat videos so much.
Me too!! And hope that means you're feeling better! :)
@@KateCavanaugh Much better, thanks. Finally able to eat again and actually do things without being hit with a wall of fatigue now thankfully.
Ahhh yay! Glad to hear that. :)
I saw the 7:30 AM yoga and I was like, "Nope." If anyone knows of a writing retreat geared toward night owls, I want to know about it. Also, there should be an app for finding critique partners, like a dating app.
Ooooh, that's a genius idea. Where are our writers that code? We need them to get on this bahaha.
oh this was delightful. thanks for sharing this experience with us, Kate!
"Delightful" now, there is a word I don't use often enough!
That looks absolutely amazing! :) I was confused at first - couldn't figure out how Michigan could have leaves and not snow at this point. Ha! Now I get it. Put-In-Bay is awesome, too! Sounds like a lovely time - I hope to find a writing group to do retreats at some point! It would be so awesome!
I really wanted to go on a writing retreat! It sounds wonderful
I love horses, one of my favorite animals
ahhh it's so beautiful
Woo!
Ideal writing retreat: chill get-together of writers for 3-7 days in a cool place where we could explore when not writing. I think more than 10 writers would be overwhelming but I liked the number at the Wander Writers Retreat in July 2022 by Jessi Elliott (I know Kate knows who that is but in case someone else doesn't).
The statue of the guy in the square just reminds me of a very important plot point in Netflix's Wednesday (have you watched that, yet, Kate?)
Ahhh, I only watched that one episode over at my friend's house! My partner had been debating watching with me so I've held off. I'll have to nudge and see if I can start without him lolol.
And oooh, how many people did y'all have in July '22??
@@KateCavanaugh 9 including me
I love going to to Cadillac every year (about 2 hours down state from mackinaw) for camping for a week and we go to Mackinaw and have a exploring Day every year it’s amazing. We always have mackinaw fudge so this year I hope we can go in the ferry ride and explore more. Glad you had fun in our little mitten ❤
Woooo looks like you had so much fun!
I DID! Also hi Hayley!! :)
This looked so fun!! Wish I could do a writing retreat at some point....
As someone who grew up on the banks of Newfoundland, the clips of the bike ride caught me like a punch right in the nostalgia. I miss islands very much: anything my the ocean is an idea location.
I love Mackinac Island! My grandparents and cousins used to do the bridge walk every year and it has a special place in my heart.
Ooooh a bridge walk sounds so cool too! That area was just gorgeous.
I'm low key jealous of past me for getting to be there hahahaha
Should i start writing again?
You just uploaded, and I'm here! Love the horse sound in the beginning!
I'm glad that you got that feedback if it helped your story. :) Ooh, writing by candlelight is awesome! And, you got to have smores too!
I love the horses, and the scenery is amazing! Lol, as you can tell, I am commenting as I watch. :D Lol. I love this vlog. You are awesome!
carnelian is one of my favorite stones. I have a beautiful flame of it!
I keep in right next to me on my desk! Really enjoy it.
I’m a Michigander ❤
Ugh, this is making me miss my writer's coven (I'm out of state)! Looks like a great trip tho :)
In the intro I thought someone had proposed lol. I know see that she was picking out of the cup. But I was excited for the proposal.
My sister works on Mackinac Island.
As a total newbie, where does one find an online writing community? Basically, how do we make writing friends as adults? Would welcome suggestions, especially for romance and mystery!
That's why I first joined authortube!! That's how I've found all my writing friends as an adult, through watching/commenting on videos. There's so many little pockets now too, that's it's easier to find people who are interested in other, overlapping hobbies. I'd definitely check out The Troublemakers and everything they have going on. :)
I was wondering how the CP thing worked there, if you all submitted what you were working on ahead of time so you could all read and critique..... but no, it was BYOCP (bring your own CP) 😄
No cars allowed on the island? That sounds like heaven!!
How does one sign up for this retreat?
I need writer friends -.-'
