Can you call writing at home a writing retreat? Or is it a writing marathon? Or just writing?

"I'm late! I'm late! For a very important date." The White Rabbit's jingle rings in my ears as I hurry down the hallway. 

"Silly me," crosses my mind when I stop and look at the tea cup in my left hand and a journal and a pen in my right hand. 

Yesterday I made myself a schedule, indicating when and where and what I would write during my personal writing retreat at home, and when and how I would take breaks. 

Standing at the bedroom door, my third writing place for today, I shake my head thinking how bizarre it is to 

1. create a detailed schedule for a free day in the middle of my holiday

2. to call writing in different locations in my apartment a writing retreat

3. to worry that I am one minute late to my writing session

Shaking off the thoughts, I enter the bedroom, put the cup on my bedside table, fluff up a pillow and settle comfortably to write. 

At five o'clock I look at my schedule and congratulate myself for a day well spent. 

I wrote in four different locations, used four different prompts, filled twenty-four A4 journal pages, started eighty-five sentences with I remember as instructed by Natalie Goldberg, answered eleven questions by Austin Kleon, wrote eight paragraphs to say what I am not as invited by Naomi Shihab Nye, and twenty snippets for a random autobiography as suggested by Kim Stafford. I took two walking breaks, eight thousand steps, some made during grocery shopping, ate fruit salad with walnuts for snack, drank three cups of tea, and made chicken in a creamy sauce with mushrooms and sun dried tomatoes for lunch.

What I discovered about the writing locations:

1. Kitchen is the worse place to write. No table and too many snacks close by.

2. One room has comfortable seating but a boring view from a window and nothing on the table or walls. 

3. The other room had uncomfortable seating, an ok view and several interesting (and somewhat distracting) items on a table to look at.

4. The bedroom was the best location to write at today. 

5. It was beneficial not to have wifi available in three rooms. 

The questions that surface:

1. Why haven't I done this before?

2. Would I have written more or less if I had been on a writing retreat away from home?

3. Would the same format work if I decided to write a short story or an article for a newspaper?

4. Do the writers often suffer from back and neck aches and stiff hands?

5. Was moving the locations necessary?

6. Would I write more if someone else cooked?

7. Would I be able to write four hours in one stretch instead of four hours with breaks in between?

8. When will I do it again?

I called today a writing retreat. Can you call writing at home a writing retreat? Or is it a writing marathon? Or just writing? What's your experience with writing retreats?
