I spent last week on a solo writing retreat to work on my copyeditor’s comments on my manuscript for my book Listen to the Wool<\/em>. Read the piece on Substack: Trains, teas and retreats \u2013 on the joy and wonder of shifting patterns.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s my third writing retreat for this book and it gives me the space I need to focus, but also a chance to shift patterns. Like the other times, I came home from this writing retreat a new writer. Today I give you an essay about shifting patterns, of making space for new inspiration and of coming one step closer to a finished book. I hope you love it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Only a year ago I didn’t know what a writing retreat was, let alone a solo writing retreat. This is a space where I chisel out my own writing experience from materials I don’t have access to at home \u2013 surroundings that need nothing from me, no one to answer to, no garden chairs to let out of their tarp hibernation, just me and my writing and whatever I choose to do when my writing day is over. I write and I dance. Write some more and step barefoot into the garden to greet the grass with my toes.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The other day I also got a design sample of the book. It was so beautifully and thoughtfully done and I can’t wait for you to see it. Listen to the wool will be published in November 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
