Welcome to PSJobethWrites

A creativity blog that houses the things I love to write (when I’m not afraid of writing) and other creative projects (that I do when I am afraid of writing).

Jobeth Pascual-Saqueton

Who even is she?

Jobeth Pascual-Saqueton is a first-generation Filipino-American, a registered nurse by day, heart-led writer by night, and a mama always. She is an old-souled child-at-heart and dog adorer who grew up with one foot in the Bay Area and the other in the Napa Valley. Aside from poetry, she enjoys writing introspective essays, nonfiction, and about the small but profound moments in life. Author of a self-published poetry book entitled, Letters to the Editor, featured writer in multiple anthologies, and aspiring to add more to the list.

You mean aside from a great time??

Every week, a new piece will be published on my blog.

Each one is part of a different passion project meant to inspire, create community, and encourage creativity.

What you’ll find here…

Too Kinds of People:

The different Too’s (too nice, too shy, too quiet, too much, etc), both my own and the ones submitted by readers. These pieces will be about embracing and navigating life with them. I hope to create a community of “Too” kinds of people that feel seen and supported not just by others, but by themselves.

Too Kind of Person:

Unlike the Too Kinds of People pieces, these will focus on a specific person, their Too’s, their stories with them, and what we may learn from their journey. This may be a historical figure, a famous person, or an interview from the community.

Writers Reflections:

These will be reflections on my writing process or reviews on books about the creative process as a whole, such as Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert or The Creative Act by Rick Rubin.

Letters:

Poetry written in a similar style to my book “Letters to the Editor”. These poems will be written to a wide variety of people, topics, and things in life.

But wait there’s more..

Often, my Too’s were something I would hide or deal with in silence. But now I’m starting the conversation. What better place to start than here? Who better to start with than me? Every TOOs-day on Instagram, I post what my biggest Too was for the week, reflect on it, discuss how I navigated that Too, and what I learned. I’d love to share that weekly journey with my fellow Too Kinds of People. You’ll also see updates on new blog posts, projects, and future events.
