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 147 | The Merry Writer Podcast
We are back with another episode of The Merry Writer Podcast! Don't forget, if you are interested in being a guest, check out the details below the video featured in this post. Right, let's get to the episode where we ask and answer: “Should You Take A Break From Social Media?”
January Goals 2023
I ummed and ahhed about whether I still wanted to list my monthly goals as a blog post. When I first started doing it a few years ago, it really helped, but then 2021 kinda derailed me. So I have decided to continue to do this but if I feel these posts aren't servicing me, I'll drop them.
Ep 146 | The Merry Writer Podcast
Happy Wednesday, people! It's time for another podcast episode, and on today's show Rachel and I ask and answer: “What Are The Stages Of Writing A Book?”
Hello 2023, Let’s Take It Easy
Before writing this post, I took a look back at last year's "Hello" post which was titled "Don't Get In My Way" and to be fair, the year didn't. But I sure as hell did. I got very much in my own way, then tripped head-first into a mental health breakdown. However, I was smart enough to do something about it.
Ep 145 | The Merry Writer Podcast
Not sure why this didn't appear on Wednesday, on this blog. So I'm throwing it up now. (My normal Friday Blog Post will be appearing at its usual time). This the first podcast of 2023 and Rachel & I are talking all about those Sagging Middles as we ask and answer: "How Do You Deal With Sagging Middle Syndrome?"
Goodbye, 2022 (Yearly Wrap-Up)
As we close the page on 2022 and look ahead to another year, I am back with a Yearly Wrap-Up. I find it very therapeutic to look back over the last 12 months, at the highs and lows that made up the year. We sometimes miss the small achievements, the learning moments, the simple memories... so that's what these wrap-ups are for.
Ep 144 | The Merry Writer Podcast
Welcome to the last episode of The Merry Writer Podcast for the year. And as has become a bit of a tradition, we have collated several of our blooper-y outtakes into a short episode for you to laugh at, cry at or if you're like us, just cringe at. "2022 Bloopers"
Wishing You All A Merry Christmas
To all you awesome people who visit and read my blog,
Thank you kindly for all your support, encouragement and friendship you have given to me over this year. It means the world to me.
I hope you all have an enjoyable but relaxing time over the holiday season.
The Problem With Goals
If you know me, you'll be looking at that title, scratching your head and going 'You? You think there's a problem with goals?' because I love goals. I, for a long time, shared Monthly Goals and Yearly Goals. I still like goals, just as I like To-Do lists! But that doesn't mean there is not still a problem with them, or at least, a problem with how we view and approach goals... let me explain.
