I woke up and couldn’t sleep. All that occupied my mind was preparing a paper I had written for publication. This will be my first article published from my PhD, following numerous conferences. However, this time, perhaps due to yesterday’s writing retreat, I was fully committed to completing the task. I woke at 3am and continued until 7am, and by 7.30, the manuscript was ready. That’s the power of a retreat, particularly a writing retreat.
