The BEST place to write!
A Place To Write的点评
点评：I attended the one-week untutored writing retreat along with 7 others in June and LOVED it (can I go back like now please?). Being a capital city dweller (yes, Cardiff counts as a capital city), I'm equal parts excited and nervous staying anywhere 'out in the sticks'. What I loved about A Place to Write is the beautiful countryside location where it feels like time is suspended... and a few mins walk to a quaint village which has a cafe, Church and museum to explore in breaks from writing/check in with civilisation.
I stayed in a mid-priced room which was spacious and comfortable, and had its own dedicated writing desk next to a power socket. Everything was thought through - there was a little tea, coffee and biscuit station, and a cutely designed notebook and vintage desk lamp - everything a writer needs.
The meals were two course, home-cooked and delicious with fresh ingredients and were hearty and filling. This isn't generic restaurant food, this is food you wish you could cook at home if you had the skill (and your kids gave you more than 20 minutes without screaming that they're starving). On top of that, there are morning and afternoon tea breaks to stretch your legs, be a bit social if you want but more importantly drink more tea.
Nic & Wendy are brilliant hosts. Nic started the day with optional intention setting & accountability, which was the right low pressure placemarking that I needed. One of the highlights was sharing our work by candlelight on the last evening. This isn't just for creatives (aren't we all creatives, really?) but for everyone to read out their work or just share their research or the progress they've made that week. This was a lovely touch to learn by osmosis some of the interesting academic research and work others are up to that I wouldn't have otherwise, something unique that you don't get in a lot of writing groups.
As someone who has to get up at 5am to squeeze in writing and is lucky to get 200 words committed to paper, to have a week dedicated to it was daunting at first. Will I or can I write? I wrote over 5000 words! And loved the space and freedom to do it.
So if you're reading this & you're unsure like I was earlier this year, read this as your instruction: take the leap & do it.

翻译：今年6月，我和另外7个人一起参加了为期一周的无指导写作静修营，我简直爱死了（现在就能再去一次吗？）。作为首都城市的居民（没错，卡迪夫也算首都城市），当我需要待在偏僻的乡村地区时，心情既兴奋又紧张。我最喜欢“A Place to Write”的一点就是它坐落于风景如画的乡村之中，在那里时间仿佛都停滞了……而且步行几分钟就能抵达一个风景如画的小村庄，那里还有一家咖啡馆。在写作的间隙可以去参观教堂和博物馆，借此感受一下人间烟火气。
我入住的是一间价格适中、宽敞又舒适的房间，旁边还有一个带电源插座的专属写字台。酒店的安排十分周到——设有小型的茶、咖啡和饼干供应区，还有设计别致的笔记本以及复古风格的台灯，这些正是一个作家所需要的。
提供的餐食为两道菜，都是用新鲜食材烹制而成的家常菜，美味可口且分量十足。这可不是普通的餐厅料理，而是那种如果你具备烹饪技巧的话，一定希望能在家做出来的美味佳肴（当然，前提是你的孩子能安静待上20分钟而不嚷着肚子饿）。此外，活动还安排了上午和下午的茶歇时间，让大家可以活动一下筋骨、社交一番；不过最重要的是能再喝些茶啦。
Nic和Wendy都是非常出色的主持人。Nic以“设定目标与责任意识”作为当天的开场环节——这种轻松无压力的方式恰恰正是我所需要的引导与铺垫。最精彩的环节之一，就是在最后一天晚上借着烛光分享各自的作品。这并不仅仅面向创意人士（其实我们所有人不都是创意人士吗？），而是让每个人都能朗读自己的作品，或者分享自己本周的研究成果与进展。这种方式妙处多多：我能潜移默化地了解到其他人所从事的有趣学术研究与工作，而这些信息原本是很难获取的。这种体验在一般的写作小组中是很难有的，实在独特而珍贵。作为一个必须早上5点起床才能挤出时间写作的人，能写出200个单词已算幸运了。因此，当有一个整周的时间专门用于写作时，起初我着实有些畏缩。我能写得出来吗？我最终写了5000多个单词呢！我十分享受那种可以自由发挥的空间与自由感。
所以，如果你正在读这篇文字，且像我今年早些时候那样犹豫不决，请把这段话当作指引：勇敢迈出一步，去付诸行动吧。
