!! EAR UPDATE !! [This is the quality content you're here for (hear for? lol sorry), I'm sure.] I ended up going to a minute clinic on Monday morning. And it was an ear infection! Yay! But my blood pressure was good, 128/81, so congratulations to me. Anyway, I got some antibiotic ear drops and should be all healed up shortly. _Fin_

This is the content I’m here for haha . Glad you got some meds!

[@authorjessicahoopes]

Naming characters is so hard! I love the name Jemima though! Maybe I'll use that one!

[@MeredithPhillipsWrites]

I kinda like Jemima, too, but the maple syrup connection is too much for me lol

[@JoeyPaulOnline]

Glad you got the ear checked, but ear infections suck. I always hate having to change character names like I don't wanna! 😅

[@MeredithPhillipsWrites]

She's so coded in my brain as "Grace" that I keep getting confused when I'm reading the manuscript and come across this "Sophia" character. Like, who is that?? 😅

[@readknitwithcheryl]

Yay Meredith Friday! You should really upload on Mondays so I can say Yay Meredith Monday! Or change your name to Feredith, lol. Jk.

[@MeredithPhillipsWrites]

LOL Feredith is quite the name 😂

[@76kilosofshade81]

Watch and comment again for the algo! 😉 The worst I ever got was 40+K words into a novel where no one had a name... 👀

[@MeredithPhillipsWrites]

Oh no, 40k is a lot of words hahaha So many [Name] brackets 😅

[@76kilosofshade81]

@@MeredithPhillipsWrites 😆 I didn't even do that, I used descriptors like LAWYER and GUY and trusted myself to figure it out later....

[@jaswriting]

Ah darn changing a character’s name that matches their personality is a such a bummer tbh. Glad you settled with Sophia (or with an f? 🤔) I think it’s an elegant name!

[@MeredithPhillipsWrites]

I like Sophia, too! I just keep getting confused reading through the book and coming across this Sophia gal and wondering who the heck this character is...and then I remember I changed it lol

[@theericbeaty]

Love the purple hoodie! I suspected an ear infection.

[@MeredithPhillipsWrites]

I've never had an ear infection before! It wasn't too bad, just sort of annoying.

[@L5player]

What IS it with you and doctors?? They actually come in handy when you're in pain. I heard that somewhere. Ugh! I know: maybe find a doctor who is also a writer. Win/win.

[@MeredithPhillipsWrites]

Eh, most of the time when I go to a doctor they don't do much to help. I only go now when I'm pretty certain I need antibiotics or special medicine of some kind to get rid of whatever is wrong.

[@EmmaBennetAuthor]

Ear problems are horrible x You poor thing x

[@MeredithPhillipsWrites]

It wasn’t too bad! Probably would have been if I hadn’t gone to the doctor though 😅
