I completely understand why you need to remove yourself from all the distractions of daily life from feeding the washing machine to answering the phone and the thinking about all the things which have to be done distract you from the writing. It sounds like you'll have this book pretty well finished by the end of your time there.. Well done.

I live in a cottage in peaceful countryside with no (visual) neighbours and yet I too find it hard to knuckle down and write as, because it is home, distractions are many. I love the idea of a writing retreat!
