In this week's episode of The Merry Writer Podcast, Rachel and I are with a guest, author Chyina Powell joins us as we ask and she answers: “What Are The Benefits To Writing In Multiple Genres?”
Author: Ari
I often question my sanity. Occasionally, it replies.
At the age of 8, Ari Meghlen wanted to be a pirate. Because who doesn't look great in baggy pantaloons and an eyepatch.
However, lacking any access to a ship this dream was relegated along with so many others: Professional ninja, best friend to a dragon, Paleontologist.
Yet Ari found that, in stories, she could be anything she wanted and so a great love affair started with the written word.
Her first story was about a monster under the bed and she hasn't stopped writing since.
She does occasionally find time to leave her writing cave and indulge in other hobbies such as drawing, blogging, making things, shooting arrows, watching movies, playing badly at cards.
Let's get down to brass tacks...
Ari write's mostly Preternatural Urban fantasy, more Traditional fantasy and a some sci-fi. Meaning she spends almost no time in reality. Though she does visit on occasion.

A Review Of Visme Forms
Recently I was offered the chance of Early Access to try out the new Visme Forms and share my thoughts. As of writing this, Visme Forms are still in a beta stage so the information I am sharing comes from what I found at the time.
This means that some of these details may be changed or amended slightly or there may be more options created by the time Visme Forms are launched.

Hello 2024, Let’s Do This!
I didn't even want to look back at 2023's "Hello" post. I am just steaming ahead for this year.
2023 was full of ups and downs. Some great fun times out, new ideas coming up but also a loss, the town flooding and a mouse invasion. So, a real mixed bag.
But forget that, it's 2024 now so it's time for some planning!!

Goodbye, 2023 (Yearly Wrap-Up)
Before we slam the book tightly shut on 2023 and look tentatively ahead to another year, I am back with a Yearly Wrap-Up. It can be helpful to look back to see what the last 12 months dealt out, what was completed, what was lost..
