Finishing NaNo

December 6, 2022 Jacinta MeredithLeave a comment

I swear I didn't abandon you. No. Strike that. I did. I totally abandoned you all. So, here is the update you all have been waiting...has it already been a week???....for: YES, I DID FINISH MY WORDS! I almost gave up. Multiple times. But I didn't. And I'm so glad. It doesn't quite feel as… Continue reading Finishing NaNo

Slogging Through

November 26, 2022 Jacinta MeredithLeave a comment

You know, I am beginning to wonder if whoever decided on National Novel Writing Month being in November hated the holidays. Or had no family. Because, seriously, am I the only one who finds it impossible to find time to write the day before, the day of, and the day after Thanksgiving? Especially when you… Continue reading Slogging Through

Wall of Tears

November 21, 2022 Jacinta Meredith6 Comments

All right, last time, I promised you all news! And the news is...I wrote over 2,000 words yesterday! Okay, I'm kidding. I mean, I did write over 2,000 words yesterday, but the TRUE news, which those of you who follow me on social media already know, is that I won third place in The Writer's… Continue reading Wall of Tears

National Frontier Trails Museum

November 19, 2022November 19, 2022 Jacinta MeredithLeave a comment

We drove fifteen and a half hours yesterday...and instead of writing during lunch and in the evening when Daniel was able to drive, I slept half the time. Apparently, I was tired. Well, I can catch up again, right? That's how life goes, though. Best laid plans and all that. This morning we got to… Continue reading National Frontier Trails Museum

On the road and 2,000 words

November 18, 2022November 18, 2022 Jacinta MeredithLeave a comment

I am currently writing this at 7:00 AM on the road to Oklahoma to spend Thanksgiving with my in-laws. Well, technically, we are going to Missouri first. We normally at least try to make it all the way to Oklahoma in one shot (18 hours), but due to alternate circumstances, we aren’t supposed to arrive… Continue reading On the road and 2,000 words

All the Bananas and all the words

November 17, 2022November 16, 2022 Jacinta MeredithLeave a comment

Apparently, when you have a lot of description to write because you are figuring out how the world in your fantasy works, you can get a lot of words in. Which means...over 4,000 words yesterday! I may have also realized that we are leaving for Oklahoma on Friday, which means a 12-hour driving day (stopping… Continue reading All the Bananas and all the words

Leftovers and more words

November 16, 2022November 15, 2022 Jacinta Meredith2 Comments

Yeeesss. I almost petered out...but I didn't! I got in my 3,000 words yesterday as well, and I am having the most fun time describing this temple in Ethrill. I'm probably going to end up cutting most of this description, but it is rather essential for me to know all the inner workings of this… Continue reading Leftovers and more words

3,000 Words and a Book Proposal

November 15, 2022November 14, 2022 Jacinta Meredith2 Comments

And she has returned! With a wealth of words. Okay, 3,000 words isn't a wealth, but compared to the dearth of words last week, It's like a stocking overflowing with candy. Just saying. Oh, my gosh, people. Yesterday was a day of catching up. I would like you all to know that I not only… Continue reading 3,000 Words and a Book Proposal

Three Months of Events

November 14, 2022November 14, 2022 Jacinta MeredithLeave a comment

I'm back! Yes, I know I didn't post all weekend. I spent Friday and Saturday working the ACFW VA conference, and managed to fit in all of....ten words, maybe? Hey, it's better than nothing! Okay, not by much. BUT, it was a good conference, if exhausting, filled with so much information that I now effectively… Continue reading Three Months of Events

Only 500 Words

November 11, 2022November 11, 2022 Jacinta MeredithLeave a comment

Yesterday was...500 words. "Oh, no! What happened?" Yes, I hear all of your sympathetic cries. Thank you. I appreciate the concern. So, what happened is that it has been a crazy week and we still had a bunch of supplies and stuff sitting out from our OCC packing party, despite all the work I did… Continue reading Only 500 Words
