I really like the idea of stretching in between the sessions, because usually I don't do that, but I felt that it was quite refreshing. Also I found it really important to write down where was I writing just before the break so I could remember how to continue.

It was a great experience, thank you very much! It made the difficult task of writing something less to be afraid of. It was good to have a nice group of people to share the daily goals with and I would attend again and also recommend this to others who struggle with writing. The little breaks with stretches were great!
