More jottings

June 17, 2022 Jacinta Meredith5 Comments

I know I missed Wednesday. But I had company, which I'm considering a good excuse. I'm too short on time to really do an in-depth post, and I'm not sure I have much to say right now anyway. So, I'm going to do exactly what I did last week, and pull something from one of… Continue reading More jottings

Believing in your Book

March 3, 2021March 3, 2021 Jacinta Meredith4 Comments

My insides literally shuddered with delight and nerves as my eye fell on the magazine that came in with the mail. Based on an email I had received a week or so before, I had reason to believe that this tiny, Christian girls magazine had a delightful surprise in it. I grasped it, ran to… Continue reading Believing in your Book

A Letter from Chadwick

December 16, 2020December 11, 2020 Jacinta Meredith6 Comments

Last week, Chadwick wrote me a letter. I was laying in bed, staring at the ceiling fan, and suddenly, there it was. I thought I'd share it with you all: Dear Jacinta, I just wanted to congratulate you on sending that manuscript into that small publisher who promised to get back to you next week.… Continue reading A Letter from Chadwick

The Bane of Writers

December 9, 2020December 8, 2020 Jacinta MeredithLeave a comment

I submitted the first five pages of my manuscript to a contest that included obtaining feedback from "experienced writers". Overall, one loved it, one hated it, and one thought it a good start that needed work. **headdesk** There was, however, one specific sentence that garnered comments from all three judges: "He may not be good… Continue reading The Bane of Writers

Winning NaNoWriMo

November 30, 2020 Jacinta MeredithLeave a comment

I know - I abandoned all of you halfway through the month! Sorry. . . but on the bright side, despite all my constant complaints about falling behind, I WON! And for perhaps the first time, I finished AHEAD OF TIME! I completed 50k words on Saturday, and, perhaps the biggest miracle of all, I… Continue reading Winning NaNoWriMo

Once Upon a Short Story

November 17, 2020 Jacinta Meredith2 Comments

I am pleased to say I am well on my way to catching up from the weekend. Yesterday I wrote approximately 3,500 words! Today I intend to do the same...though I have successfully avoided writing all day and it is already 3:30. I have, however, submitted another short story to another magazine and sent out… Continue reading Once Upon a Short Story

Procrastination, Productivity, and Rejection

November 12, 2020 Jacinta MeredithLeave a comment

NanoWrimo Days 9 - 11: I'll be honest. I didn't write ANYTHING on the 9th. Which means all the "making up" I did for while I was gone over the weekend promptly disappeared. So, I'm around 3,000 words behind right now (maybe a little less - I did write 2,000ish yesterday!). In total, I am… Continue reading Procrastination, Productivity, and Rejection

NaNoWriMo Days 6 – 8

November 9, 2020 Jacinta MeredithLeave a comment

As mentioned in my previous post, my husband and I drove down to Florida for a wedding this past weekend. You know what that means? 24 hours in a car and lots of social interaction! Don't get me wrong, it was fun, but it didn't leave much time for writing. I am too scared to… Continue reading NaNoWriMo Days 6 – 8

NaNoWriMo Day 5: Epic progress

November 6, 2020 Jacinta MeredithLeave a comment

You thought you were going to escape my potential daily update, didn't you? Well, you almost did. It IS 11:48 PM here, after all. We had a wedding in Florida today, and drove for 12 hours to get here in time for a family dinner. But I was prepared for this. Yesterday, I wrote .… Continue reading NaNoWriMo Day 5: Epic progress

NaNoWriMo Day 4: All the Words

November 5, 2020 Jacinta MeredithLeave a comment

I wrote over 3,000 words yesterday! Okay, so it was purposeful since I will be on the road tomorrow and have significant doubts as to whether or not I'll get ANY writing done, but I'm pretty pleased with my progress. I finally got through the hard part - writing about the little girl escaping from… Continue reading NaNoWriMo Day 4: All the Words
