a little recap of our second annual brain frog writers retreat💚

last year, me and some of my best friends got an Airbnb together to get some writing done, and it went so well that we naturally had to make it an annual thing.

swipe to see what we got up to at this year’s writing retreat >>>

[ #writer #authorsofinstagram #writingretreat #bookstagram #author fantasy author photo dump of bookish vacation ]

the best part of our writing retreat is always spending time with some of my favorite people <3

we also left a little message in our airbnb’s scrabble board…

we always have a thorough itinerary (thank you @jesscozziwrites), but you know the rules: work hard, play hard. In addition to writing, there was some axe throwing, staring at cats, sundae nights, and naturally, I did force everyone to watch Project Hail Mary (@bychloemaron hadn’t seen it before, so of course I filmed their reactions and will share that video soon)

and don’t worry, i didn’t only talk about the goslingverse and make everyone watch ryan gosling movies!! Chloe and I also forced Jess to watch Supernatural for the first time (we started her off with the musical episode, for maximum confusion)

but here is some proof that we actually did write on our writing retreat. most of our time was spent here, working on our word counts

now i can’t tell you *what* exactly i’ve been writing, but i will say while i love this book, it has really had it out for me lately. until this retreat. during our sprint sessions, i finally got to work through some areas i’d been stuck on, and it was so so helpful💙💙

in general, writing has been a challenge for me these past several months due to my worsening pain and fatigue. before the retreat, i was really worried i would get nothing done. but i am so happy to say that while, yes, the pain and fatigue did take its usual toll on me at the retreat (i couldn’t stay awake to work on more than one occasion, brain fog was torture, and my heated wrist braces really were my best friend), i still somehow managed to not only reach my writing goal, but surpass it!!

(did i make my writing goal on the lower side because i knew i would be struggling? yes. but a wins a wi

Moral of the story = it’s a lot easier to hit your writing goals when your friends are there to cheer you on. 🙌🏼📝📚

Writing can be a pretty solitary activity, so I highly suggest every writer takes any chance they can to spend that time together. Our second annual writing retreat is officially in the books, and we had a weekend filled with abundant snacks, failed axe throwing, and lots and lots of new words on new pages. Lots more content to come from the best weekend of the year!! 💖

The results are in…do you think more people would rather sit next to their romantic ex or their ex best friend on a cross-country flight? ✈️😵‍💫

Back to our regularly scheduled programming @bookcon 📚✨

I looked forward to #bookcon every year to see so many authors and friends and readers I loved, and this return did NOT disappoint! 🫂 I love my friends and my job and my book and my life, and being back after 7 years now as an author *and* working my dream job as a publicist was a serious pinch-me moment. SO much more content from this weekend to come. See you all next year! 🎉

I can’t believe that we can technically say @bookcon 2026 is NEXT WEEK! To celebrate, I dug through some albums to find photos of past BookCon/BookExpo escapades. I can’t wait to see everyone there!!! 📚✨🤩

Mostly Heated Rivalry and Hudcon. Took a small break from tHReads but back again.

And yes I did see the Oscar’s announcement. I’m assuming Hudson will be presenting? Plus maybe a movie announcement soon? Either way it’s smart of them as it’ll boost viewership.

I still need to read Yaga but it’s on hold at the library. Also love the mood board.
