3) Watch the video with my "think aloud" about how to break your writing down into smaller tasks and to estimate the time each task will take to accomplish. 🎬

4) Refresh yourself on Robert Boice's rules for writing. Find all 10 Rules in this short video. Enjoy. Save. Share! 📚

5) Prepare your snacks, your space, and your friends and family so that you can be totally focused on your writing during the hours of the retreat. 🍇
