"I hadn’t written about this trip yet because I came back from experiencing what life as a full-time writer would be like and it truly bummed me out to return to my day job."
I fully hear you on this, because pretty much all of us would rather spend our days writing than doing our day jobs, but I do want to offer a thought that might (hopefully) make you slightly less bummed: Not every day as a full-time author will be as magical as your retreat was. Whenever you get there, you'll likely have to cram your writing sessions between household chores and errands and whatever other life maintenance activities you'll have to take care of, and you'll have deadlines to meet and editors' notes to contend with. Is it still gonna be awesome? YES! But your retreat was a special thing, and that's okay :)

You’re very right! ❤️
It's easier if you just admit I'm right early and often
hmm....naaaaaaaaaah.
I second Kate’s assessment
