And I don't think a weekend cabin rental from time to time to write is such a bad idea at all! Even Virginia Woolf said writers need a room of their own.

Just rebuilt my site and added you to my Links page. So I clicked it to make sure it took me here and well... here I am, so I guess all is working well. I'll be around to say hi more often. Hi again.

And, I also dream of my cabin far off in the woods or by a lake. To find somewhere to be alone and guilt free about it is my dream of dreams.

It could be loaded with bookshelves (and books of course), writing utensils, and lots of coffee! Also, a cabin journal would be cool to leave there so they can all share their experiences. ----that's me dreaming again.

My daughter bought me a model cabin and I stained it and painted the roof. It sits near my writing space. Like you, I don't seem to have a designated space and I get easily distracted; kids, dog, wildlife, internet. While I don't see a real cabin of my own in the near future, I have researched renting one in a State Park here in Fl. I've been to one park that has cabins on a lake (near Orlando) and I plan to get away for 3-4 days some time in 2010 (maybe more if possible). It's way cheaper than cabin rentals in the mountains. I like your article. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one distracted by this wonderful idea. Best of luck, Vicki BJ – I dream about it ALL the time too.

Certainly that craving for some solitude is something I feel, though, like you, I imagine I'd probably end up sleeping a lot rather than actually getting a lot done ;-) I think it would be great to be able to go retreat, hasn’t happened yet though and not likely to for a few years!
