Two weekends ago, I went on a self-organized group writing retreat. We booked a house on AirBNB and spent Fri-Sun just writing. I made some great headway into some non-coffee personal essays and 4500 words into a fictional short story! Also, I recently listened to the Boss Barista podcast episode
Can you believe it’s midway through July? I’m really excited for an upcoming writing retreat this weekend. It’s a self-organized retreat of area writers (of various topics and disciplines). In the woods and mountains! Possibly the most exciting part is that I plan on working on some
