  • GOING ON A WRITING RETREAT | Writing Retreat Weekend Writing Vlog and Am I Productive?
    It's been too long since I've gone on a writing retreat, so here we are! This is a solo writing retreat, and I've got to say--it was so relaxing. But was it productive? Did my WIP benefit from it? Keep watching this writing vlog to find out! Thank you for stopping by my Authortube channel, and I hope you stick around!

    This video is making me want to book a hotel for a writing retreat. The deal you got for the room is amazing!

    • @AuthorSarahSutton
      @AuthorSarahSutton  Pƙed 2 lety

      You definitely should! And I KNOW, it’s crazy!đŸ˜±đŸ’•

    This looks so fun! I would love to go on a writing retreat at a hotel alone, but I have too much anxiety and I feel like the fear would definitely just make me work even less than I do at home haha so I'll just live through lovely vlogs like this 😂

    • @AuthorSarahSutton
      @AuthorSarahSutton  Pƙed 2 lety +1

      I totally get that! I was pretty anxious going on my own-I’d never done that before!

  • @AuthorZaraHoffman
    @AuthorZaraHoffman Pƙed 2 lety +1

    I live out of a suitcase. It drives my mom crazy but all my clothes are normally folded in a drawer at home, anyway, so it's not like I'm leaving stuff folded that shouldn't be.
    I hate sticky hand sanitizer!

    • @AuthorSarahSutton
      @AuthorSarahSutton  Pƙed 2 lety +1

      I totally get that! Plus is just easier that way honestly 😂💕

    Hi again. I would love to have a hotel writing getaway, but unfortunately, I live in south Africa, western cape, and the hotel prices are close to r1000 for the night.
    And places that might be less is far from my location.
    And just try to relax and take each day as it comes, since it sounds like your life seems crazy business. Everything will fall into place, since I managed to write out some scenes for the last two weeks. And only today it worked out perfectly, so make notes on idea's to maybe help spark your creative vibe running.
    Thanks again for another vlog and remember to be kind to yourself â€â€â€đŸ€—

      Thank you for the sweet reminder! I'm happy you managed to get some writing in! 😃🎉💕

    I mostly live out of my suitcase while traveling so I don't forget anything when I leave. Going on a writing retreat is definitely on my to-do list. Definitely going to take some time off work to do that either this year or next.

    • @AuthorSarahSutton
      @AuthorSarahSutton  Pƙed 2 lety +1

      When i was leaving, I DEFINITELY wished I had left it all in the case 😂 And you absolutely should!💕

  • @gailc.m.victor

    I usually live out of a suitcase, mostly. But for stays at longer places, my stuff gets more and more spread out, generally. XD

    If I traveled I’d live out of my suitcase.

    • @AuthorSarahSutton
      @AuthorSarahSutton  Pƙed 2 lety

      I feel like there’s less stress in making sure you’ve packed everything back up!

    I like my rooms freezing as well!

  • @goodcleanfun.with.aubrierose

    I want to do this! Looks so much fun! Also, great work Sarah! You've got this!

    I love your AJR too! What’s your favourite song? I love sober up and worlds smallest violin xD. P.S. I’m also saving to buy one of your books!

    @AutumnAshleigh Pƙed 2 lety

    I love you too Sarah! đŸ„° That stream was so fun! Also, I LOVE the idea of a solo writing retreat! Don't overwhelm yourself. You are doing great 💓

      I can't wait until one day we can do a friend writing retreat!!💕🎉

    Well done on this writing retreat, Sarah! And though it may be a hectic time for you, you've definitely got this. When the going gets tough, the tough get going.
    And I know what you mean about not wanting to be out of the loop with your close family. I'm 32 years old and have a house of my own, but I visit my parents every single day. Luckily they live just a couple doors down from me. And I also message and call them all the time. My parents and sister are the only people I actively contact and hang out with on a regular basis, because I've always happily been a bit of a hermit. Happy writing!

    Love the AJR shirt! I started listening to them because of one of your vlogs, and now I have a character based on one of their songs!

    This looks so amazing, would you recommend a solo Writing Retreat.
    I'm considering booking a cottage in Wales (where I live) for a week and going with my cousin or on my own to get some writing done.
    Congrats on the progress you made with your book. I can't wait to know more about it.

    • @AuthorSarahSutton
      @AuthorSarahSutton  Pƙed 2 lety +1

      I feel like writing retreats are so amazing and productive. I love them!😃🎉

    I don't see Coke in your sodas. All Sprite.
    I just leave my things in the suitcase. I'm going to enjoy the room and the view, walk around. For me, unpacking means a chore while staying in a hotel means it's a vacation. To unwind. To chill. I didn't leave my house to do a different chore. I can pull out whatever I need anyway. ;)
    Did you write anywhere or just in your room?
    Edit: Other than the Starbucks parking. I mean, other areas there.

    • @AuthorSarahSutton
      @AuthorSarahSutton  Pƙed 2 lety

      Yeah, I’ve switched over to sprite now I think!😂 Also nope, just stayed in my room. Less distractions that way!

  • @authorkatieyoung

    I live out of my suitcase and don't usually unpack

    Hey Sarra, I honestly feel the same way when I'm at home, which is why I am excited that my campus is open because I can go to a coffee shop near my class and write. I really enjoy vlog!!

    • @AuthorSarahSutton
