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

Behind the Word Count. . . Again

November 16, 2020 Jacinta Meredith2 Comments

My goal on Friday was to catch up on my word count. AND I DID! Over 4,000 words later, I was completely caught up. And then, of course, came the weekend. We had an Operation Christmas Child Packing Party on Saturday (packed 95 boxes!), which means I didn't write anything that day and, because I… Continue reading Behind the Word Count. . . Again

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

NaNoWriMo Day 3: Slow but Sure?

November 4, 2020 Jacinta MeredithLeave a comment

I know, I said Day 3 and it's technically Day 4, but I am updating you about the day before, so I'm technically still right. Yesterday, I once again waited until evening to get my words in, and then attempted to do them while watching a movie (without pressing pause) and through election results. Needless… Continue reading NaNoWriMo Day 3: Slow but Sure?

NaNoWriMo Day 2: Painful Progress

November 3, 2020 Jacinta Meredith2 Comments

Despite writing now being my full-time job, I managed to put off writing my NaNo words yesterday until late. My husband was delighted to be able to make jokes about me "having one job" and "working overtime". I SQUEEZED out like 500 words before dinner, and then, while having dinner and playing a game, managed… Continue reading NaNoWriMo Day 2: Painful Progress

National Novel Writing Month: It Begins

November 2, 2020 Jacinta MeredithLeave a comment

I know my weekly post isn't due until Wednesday, but guess what? It's National Novel Writing Month! And you all know that means I always blog more than usual. So, I've decided to forego the "proper" technique of doing blog posts on a schedule for the month and post as much as I want to… Continue reading National Novel Writing Month: It Begins
