Day 3: Aesthetic Goals

Welcome to day 3 of our 5-Day Stay-Home Writing Retreat!

Today we will be focusing on the aesthetics of writing, beginning with your writing environment and ending with your writing style.  

Even the most narrow, crowded, or noisy writing space need not necessarily be an uncongenial one.  I hope you can draw on your imagination and ingenuity to create an aesthetically nourishing physical environment that will sustain rather than drain you emotionally, both throughout this retreat and beyond.  

Begin your writing day by watching the short Before Writing video below. At the end of your writing day, please return to this page to watch the After Writing video, which will take you through a brief reflection on your progress thus far.
