As we approach the end of 2021, Rachel and I thought we'd do another Would You Rather episode of The Merry Writer Podcast. With this being a Christmas Edition!
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.

The Path Of Least Resistance
I had a random epiphany recently. It started when I woke up feeling rather manic and hyperactive. During the hour my partner was away at an appointment, I got my usual chores done... then about 20 other things. (It was a really good day!) One of the things I managed to do was organise my bedside cabinet. I was just wrapping up my headphones and popping them in their zippered case, to go in the top drawer when I realised, that was dumb! Let me explain...
