I'm looking forward to making this post the first of many here.
Welcome to the blog part of my site. I've been writing for years, with little breaks here and there. Some of the best things I've written were in group brainstorming sessions in college. They were fun! But my problem then on being able to follow through and finish a story, was listening to the characters. I'd get an idea in my head and write it, but when the characters tried to take over, I'd resist, and the whole thing would flop. Now, I listen to what the characters and muse are telling me and write it, I channel them. Resistance is futile. I take the long road now too, I handwrite it first and type it later. This is because I lost 2000 words from one story when a USB drive deleted an entire folder. My characters stopped talking to me after that effort. Shame too, I was enjoying writing that one. My muse (and yes, I'll blame the muse) comes up with all kinds of nasty, naughty things to write and some of my beta readers are torn between shock and awe. I sit back and rub my hands together in glee while they rant at me, either for more or to stop torturing them! So, enjoy the snippets here and know that there's more to come!

AuthorAria Peyton is a mum of three, non-wife to one, pet-mum to many. Zany, crazy but never quite fitting in, she loves to write about all kinds of things! And her characters get up to naughtiness behind closed doors... and other times not so private! Archives
