Comments & Testimonials
What we liked
"Building, people, books, tea"
"The pure writing time was utter bliss"
"Nice people, good atmosphere and a feeling “I am a writer”. And nice cakes!"
"Felt like I could be productive without thinking about other things I could/should be doing"
"Loved it. No TV, no internet, no phone - didn't miss a thing, and I got things done I've been just planning for ages"
The Writing Part "I learned I have very little discipline. I NEED to be forced to write really and I learned though that I
enjoy it when I do so I really shouldn't shoot myself in the foot by avoiding it!"
"I realised how often I distract myself – not having the web was VERY key to progress being made"
"Wonderful. I missed music to begin with but got used to it. Every time I stopped for a break I wanted to go back to my desk again!"
"I know I can write (by hand) for long periods of time – so no excuses from now on!"
"I can never stick to one writing task at a time – it doesn’t matter where I am & I learned I should just go with this"
"Almost got there on word count and covered loads of issues – not necessarily the ones I’d planned to though!"
“The day absolutely flew which surprised me quite a lot as I’ll admit to being a bit daunted about it beforehand”
"I got lots done – not what I planned but I feel I achieved!"
"Excellent. I really enjoyed myself and got masses done. It really cleared my mind"
"Good way to focus in a relaxed environment"
What comes next?
"Would like to come again, and will make time to do more myself too"
"I'm going to focus on writing more & finding a space near me where I can sit on write"
"It will give me more focus and has got me over that block of not writing"
