Facing My Book

August 18, 2021August 17, 2021 Jacinta Meredith1 Comment

Today, I am doing something in my writing career that I have never done before. I...am creating an outline. Yup. A book outline. As in, writing down the scenes, the purposes of the scenes, the character goals and motivations, etc. Basically, I'm creating the most epic spreadsheet ever to break this book down into the… Continue reading Facing My Book

Looking up

May 6, 2020July 8, 2020 Jacinta MeredithLeave a comment

I've been having a hard week. I know that it is only Wednesday, but I still have been. To tell the absolute truth, I've been utterly crippled with fear. You know that fear that you would expect someone to have when they have just quit their very well-paying job because it is so stressful that… Continue reading Looking up

The End Results

April 30, 2020July 8, 2020 Jacinta Meredith1 Comment

My month off ends tomorrow. I have to admit, it was...not what I thought. It does not necessarily follow that it must be unpleasant (to borrow a phrase from Jane Austen). I kind of envisioned, as a typical enneagram One/Type A, that I would hit my month off/month of writing and immediately go into full… Continue reading The End Results

The Editing Cave

April 17, 2020July 8, 2020 Jacinta Meredith1 Comment

You know that lovely time that comes all too rarely when you are working SO WELL on your book that you just CAN'T stop? That happened to me yesterday. Well, technically, it started at about 12:30 AM yesterday morning, when I couldn't sleep because I kept thinking about changes I wanted to make, and finally… Continue reading The Editing Cave

Typical New Year Post

January 7, 2019January 7, 2019 Jacinta MeredithLeave a comment

So, I know last year I said I wasn't doing resolutions - I was just doing goals (ultimately the same thing, right?) More and more people do that, I think - shrug off resolutions as an overrated thing that are made and broken year and year (true enough!). Therefore, in an attempt to fit in,… Continue reading Typical New Year Post

Books and Progress

April 11, 2018April 11, 2018 Jacinta MeredithLeave a comment

There hasn't been a lot to update lately. I just got back from a short trip to Kansas where I finished most of my book. I am literally on the last couple paragraphs and am having a bit of a difficult time getting the words out - not so much because I don't know what… Continue reading Books and Progress

The Need for Silence

September 6, 2016September 6, 2016 Jacinta MeredithLeave a comment

First things first - head over to my other blog (http://storyidyls.blogspot.com/) and check out my most recent post on fear of failure! Because you all know that is my favorite subject, so I couldn't resist posting about it on there too and am currently working hard not to regret it. Second things second: I love… Continue reading The Need for Silence

This Chaotic World

July 25, 2016July 25, 2016 Jacinta MeredithLeave a comment

I haven't written in awhile I know - I have been surprisingly busy - or too tired. One or the other. I took a work trip to Phoenix, which was just lovely. The only down side, of course, was that my husband wasn't with me. Around that time, my progress in CampNaNo began collapsing and… Continue reading This Chaotic World

Fear of Dreams

October 6, 2015October 6, 2015 Jacinta Meredith1 Comment

I know that my posts on my blog are off and on. Usually how much I post or don't post is a reflection of busyness, yes, but also of guilt and fear. If I am feeling guilty that I haven't written in a story in awhile, whether a short story, book, or even pursued writing… Continue reading Fear of Dreams
