hello, and welcome to my blog!
my name is ariona—you can call me ari, rio, or whatever the hell else you feel like (within reason!)—and i’m a disabled lesbian writer in my mid-twenties that loves to focus on queer characters with complex relationships and even more complex feelings. nice to meet you!
my current goal is to have my first book out before the end of 2026, and to eventually get to a point where writing is my full time job.
i currently have a handful of side projects that i juggle in my free time, and one main project that i'm working on:
rotten
a zombie apocalypse story centered on big brother lucky anderson trying to keep his baby siblings (8 year old poppy and 4 year old thatcher) alive and the accidental (and absolutely reluctant) found family that they end up in
i'm currently about halfway through the first draft and will be posting a proper wip intro once the first draft is done. when that's posted i will include the link here!
tag for this project is wip: rotten
thank you for being here!
if you’re interested in seeing posts about my projects, please follow me and i promise i’ll be sharing tidbits of information and updates on my progress as often as possible! if you’d like to ask questions or talk about any of my projects, my ask box is always open, i’d love to chat!
if you want to help support me in my journey to self-publish my books and reach my goal of eventually being a full time writer, i have a ko-fi!
i have ideas to one day make membership tiers and have rewards/extra content for those who join, which i’d love to turn into a reality if enough people become interested (let me know if you are!) but any support is very appreciated!!
that’s all for now i suppose, if anyone is reading this all the way to the end, thank you so much for taking the time to do so and i hope you have a wonderful day ❤️❤️
