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

Redefining Success

October 7, 2020October 6, 2020 Jacinta Meredith1 Comment

It’s been awhile since I’ve spoken about writing. There’s a reason for this. I felt like all I did for awhile there was whine. I whined so much about how hard it was to adjust to my new life, that I was sick of even thinking about my own whining, let alone writing about it.… Continue reading Redefining Success

Stress, Lies, and the Truth Behind Them

Overall, I've had a rather stressful week and a half (for a taste of last week, see my latest post on The Writers of Ingleside). But last weekend was delightful.

Living in the Past

March 25, 2015March 25, 2015 Jacinta Meredith1 Comment

Is it just me or does anyone else find themselves, during quiet times, thinking back over their lives, dwelling on the various times they made mistakes, said something stupid, did something stupid, or, worse, got in trouble for something? This is a particular weakness of mine. I will be minding my own business, and randomly,… Continue reading Living in the Past

Upcoming Goals

December 8, 2014 Jacinta MeredithLeave a comment

Sorry I haven't posted in so long - I have been busy with life: Settling in to my new job, setting up Christmas stuff, recovering from a week and a half with my in-laws . . . all that. 🙂 So, here are my upcoming writing goals. I think it will be significantly harder to… Continue reading Upcoming Goals
