Avoiding Writing – Again

February 3, 2021February 1, 2021 Jacinta Meredith5 Comments

I had SO MANY good intentions last week! I was going to read three books on the Oregon/California trail, prep Drawn Into Love (DIL) for additional submissions, AND begin editing Picture of the Past (PoP). Would you like to know what I actually accomplished? One short California trail book, looking over the first two chapters… Continue reading Avoiding Writing – Again

A Writer’s Goals

January 20, 2021January 18, 2021 Jacinta Meredith2 Comments

As anyone who knows me at all is aware, I am generally the type of person who has New Year goals/resolutions/intentions (whichever your preferred phraseology is) planned out well in advance. By the time New Year hits, I know without a doubt what I want to accomplish that year. This year, for the first time… Continue reading A Writer’s Goals

Introducing Chadwick

December 2, 2020December 1, 2020 Jacinta Meredith3 Comments

So, today, I would like to introduce you, my readers, to someone who is near and . . .well, not quite dear. . .to my heart. He has been with me for as long as I can remember and, following a fruitful discussion with my husband on our 18+ hour car ride to Oklahoma, has… Continue reading Introducing Chadwick

Auroras and Angst

August 19, 2020August 19, 2020 Jacinta Meredith1 Comment

A soft tapping on the window startled us awake. My sisters and I sat up, scared for only a moment until we realized who it was. We peeked out to make sure. Yup. We quickly threw on some warm clothes, grabbed blankets, and tiptoed out of our room and out of the house, possibly stopping… Continue reading Auroras and Angst

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

Nitty Gritty Editing

April 15, 2020July 8, 2020 Jacinta MeredithLeave a comment

Between yesterday and today, I managed to get through the second edit of my book! Well. Sort of. While going through it this time, and thanks to an article in an article from The Writer magazine I have realized there is FAR MORE work to be done that I realized. Therefore, now that I've gone… Continue reading Nitty Gritty Editing

Introducing Idyllwood

April 14, 2020July 8, 2020 Jacinta Meredith2 Comments

You may have seen a difference in my blog if you tried to access it yesterday - or you may not have. I am not sure how it works if you have it bookmarked or on your reader. **shrug**. Nonetheless, there HAVE been significant changes, which I am actually pretty excited about. It SHOULD be… Continue reading Introducing Idyllwood

Writer Fears

April 8, 2020July 8, 2020 Jacinta Meredith1 Comment

I've realized posts like yesterday's probably belong more in The Writers of Ingleside, since it is more about daily life than writing - though you all know I like to talk about my life here too. But I'm going to try to keep this month's posts a little more focused on my feelings as I… Continue reading Writer Fears

A Little Progress

April 7, 2020July 8, 2020 Jacinta MeredithLeave a comment

Today was lovely! I was just a LITTLE bit more useful - does that mean I am finally feeling rested? After sleeping in super late again (hey, in my defense, I was up until 3:30 - okay - I guess that isn't really a defense. More like. . .an admission), I made passion fruit iced… Continue reading A Little Progress

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

So, what do you think? Do you think you want to come along on my month of writing adventure? I thought maybe it would be fun, with me pursuing my dream for the first time in my life, to have company. So I've decided to TRY to write a blog post every day noting what… Continue reading Day One of Writing Freedom
