Tackle hard projects together

2021 was an exciting year for The Write Space.  Firstly, a little dream became a big reality when we purchased Bank House as our home!  With only moving here in May, we had our first trial retreat in August and our second one in October. We learned so much during these retreats and hosting them very much confirmed that we really do want to share our space with others.  We were able to support six students (one on two occasions)  with their writing goals and leave with results.  Check out their experiences here!

The other day, Adam said to me, “you really are happy when we are productive".  And this is so true. Sure, I love a relaxing lie in, and a Netflix binge, but what really makes me happy is when we are doing things.  His observation came after a day of wallpapering a guest room, something we have been talking about doing for a while. Something that neither of us had done before- not to mention on walls that were built in 1851!  So, while it was a lot of hard work, the fact that we were giving it a go, doing what we set out to do, and doing it together brought me a lot of joy. 

Reflecting on our wallpapering. experience, made me think about some of the reasons that hosting writing retreats is so enjoyable. At the Write Space we are tackling hard projects together.  We are setting goals; we are making plans and we are sticking to them.  We are working through problems and becoming unstuck. Most importantly, we are feeling encouraged and supported through it all.   In just a short amount of time you can feel the high levels of productivity and let me tell you it’s so motivating! 

Our goal for the New Year is to host 4-5 weekend writing retreats and 4–5 day retreats.   We are thankful for your support in spreading the word about The Write Space and are genuinely excited about helping you tackle the hard projects in 2022.  ​
