Random Jottings

June 8, 2022 Jacinta MeredithLeave a comment

I'll be honest. I have nothing new to say today. Still researching (though less frustrated). Still editing (very slow). So instead I'm going to share one of my completely random jottings from my equivalent of one of Emily's (of New Moon) Jimmy books. I don't think there was any actual point to it when I… Continue reading Random Jottings

The Teddy Bear

April 6, 2022 Jacinta Meredith1 Comment

So, one of my favorite ways to come up with short stories is to use my Dixit board game. For those who don't know, Dixit is comprised of a whole bunch of very unique pictures, and when playing the game, you are supposed to come up with a word or phrase to describe a picture… Continue reading The Teddy Bear

Introducing Chadwick

December 2, 2020December 1, 2020 Jacinta Meredith3 Comments

So, today, I would like to introduce you, my readers, to someone who is near and . . .well, not quite dear. . .to my heart. He has been with me for as long as I can remember and, following a fruitful discussion with my husband on our 18+ hour car ride to Oklahoma, has… Continue reading Introducing Chadwick

Frozen Flowers

October 7, 2010July 21, 2014 Jacinta MeredithLeave a comment

A man sat in the middle of a forest, in the middle of a garden, in the middle of a bench. Or was it a man? Perhaps it was a boy. He looked very like a lost little boy sitting in the midst of frozen flowers. Funny thing about the first, unexpected frost. If one… Continue reading Frozen Flowers

Seller of Dreams

March 1, 2010March 5, 2010 Jacinta Meredith1 Comment

So, one of my dreams has always been to write a story that fulfilled the very murky outlines of Emily of New Moon's Seller of Dreams. Once, many years ago, I wrote a poem based upon the story I wanted to write. There is no question it needs revising, but I ran into it today,… Continue reading Seller of Dreams

An Ocean Touch

February 10, 2010March 5, 2010 Jacinta MeredithLeave a comment

So, I felt this super super overwhelming urge to write. I haven't written in ever so long! But, as other writers, I am sure, can sympathize with, I stared at the blank document in front of me without a thing to put down. So, finally, I put on music from Tim Janis, one of my… Continue reading An Ocean Touch

Out on the Porch

June 2, 2009June 2, 2009 Jacinta Meredith2 Comments

Since moving into this townhouse in Purcellville, I've spent lots of time in various parts of the house. In the kitchen, cooking and cleaning - Oh, the joy of cooking again! And I never thought I'd be happy to clean a kitchen, but seeing it sparkling and pretty makes me happy. The dining room, at… Continue reading Out on the Porch

Phantom Riders

April 15, 2009April 15, 2009 Jacinta MeredithLeave a comment

Looking through my old writings, I happened upon this extremely rough poem I jotted down a few years ago. But I thought you might enjoy it anyway. PHANTOM RIDERS Far and away many years ago there were strange ghosts in an old, old bay. Phantom Riders named for their eery flight over the waters and… Continue reading Phantom Riders
