You had a great time at your writing retreat. You came away refreshed, renewed, motivated, and inspired.

You even set intentional goals—write so many words a day, start waking up early and join the #5amwriters club.

Then life, as it so often does, derails your plans.

Here are a few tips from writing retreat hosts on how to keep the momentum from attending a writing retreat going:

  • Block time in your calendar and preserve it as sacred time.
  • Join virtual or in person writing groups and attend their writing sessions.
  • Take your own mini writing retreat either at your house or at a nearby hotel or AirBnb.
  • Find a writing accountability partner.
  • Create goals and stick to them.
