For a while I totally had this very strong fantasy about a remote cabin in the woods by the stormy north Atlantic coast *gasp of longing* Yes! YES! Oh I would adore that. I think it comes with being an introvert (and a writer, I suppose) but alone time with nature and just a chance to think and feel away from everything else, it sounds glorious.

Do you happen to have links of the artist residency and the group in Berlin? I do travel a lot, so I might be able to do that some day... I imagine it's not cheap, though? And yes to the self-imposed retreat, I always enjoy writing on planes, too, so I'm sure I will do a lot when travelling next month.
