As I sometimes do, I decided — on a whim — to go on a writing retreat this holiday weekend. The Airbnb home that I rented is located in the Virginia countryside, about an hour away from my home.

The owner told me, early-on, that she would be out of town. All the better, I thought. No one would distract me from my writing.
