Writing Retreats

I don’t know if my title needs an exclamation point or a question. This was my year to explore the possibilities of writing retreats. Perhaps, even attend one. But, due to an unforeseen pandemic, they are hard to find. Thus, a question mark may be more appropriate.

So, I have been thinking of doing a personal writing retreat. Setting time aside. Making a space (outside of my writing space) to write. Planning activities that promote clarity of mind and creativity. I think this is doable.

The thing it lacks is community. So, is there pod casts out there I can add? Virtual classes to stimulate the mind? Sure there are. But which ones would be best?

What would you suggest? How would you go about making a personal writing retreat?
