It's Wednesday so time for another podcast episode! Today we are talking about comparisons as we are: "Should You Compare Yourself To Other Writers?"
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.
Ep 063 | The Merry Writer Podcast
Welcome back to another podcast episode! Today, Rachel and I thought we would discuss the difference between Hobbyists and Professional writers. As we asked: "Are You A Hobby Writer Or A Professional Writer?"
June Goals 2021 | Monthly Goals
May had me mostly focusing on the house projects. With my room out of commission, 90% of my possessions packed up and stored in a family member's basement, I spent most of the time planning, prepping and coordinating with tradesmen. Dealing with so many people left me mentally and emotionally exhausted, seriously, I can't really cope with that much social interaction. So it felt like everything took so much longer than it should have. But we are so close to getting it all done. Oops, spoke too soon.
Ep 062 | The Merry Writer Podcast
Today's podcast episode is all about audiobooks! After all, this book format has taken off and become extremely popular. We welcomed special guest author Tori Zigler, who has published many audiobook to come on the show as we ask:
"What Is The Process Of Creating & Publishing An Audiobook?"
Ep 061 | The Merry Writer Podcast
Ready for another podcast episode? On today's episode Rachel and I talk about writing spaces by asking:
"Do You Need A Dedicated Space For Writing?"
How Facebook Has Become A Benefit
If you've been following this blog for, well, any length of time you will probably have seen me categorically-state how much I hate Facebook. Now, that is still very true, of all the social media platforms, I consider it the worst, however, I have FINALLY found a benefit for it.
Ep 060 | The Merry Writer Podcast
It's Wednesday, so it's time for another episode of The Merry Writer Podcast, today Rachel and I turned our attention to good ol' Self-care and asked the question:
"What Are Good Self-Care Tips For Writers?"
Ep 059 | The Merry Writer Podcast
On today's podcast episode we shift gears to talk a little about being a reader and ask the question:
"Do You Review Books That You Read?"
May Goals 2021 | Monthly Goals
April turned out to be a hair-pull-inducing stress month. Filled mostly with packing our home, moving boxes, stripping the worlds-worst wallpaper and trying to coordinate tradesmen who seemed incapable of a) answering their phones or b) replying to voicemails, texts or DMs (even when THEY told us which they preferred). So I am approaching May with a lot more caution - mostly because I will be without an office, will have limited internet access and have to spend large amounts of time out of the house while people fix things.
Ep 058 | The Merry Writer Podcast
Today on the podcast we are talking about something I think almost all writers dread, but we're not alone, we welcome special guest author Wilmar Luna onto the show and ask the question:
"How Do You Deal With One Star Reviews?"
