By Megan Cutler | October 18, 2021 | Comments 0 Comment When I first started writing full-time, I struggled to write every day.

What I’ve Been Up to in 2021 What I’ve Been Up to in 2021 By Megan Cutler | October 4, 2021 | Comments 0 Comment I realized this morning it’s been a year since I wrote an update about my writing projects. (Oops!) There’s a reason why it hasn’t occurred to me to say something sooner. (More on that in a moment.) But still, I should rectify that situation. I don’t think I’ve mentioned it on my blog before, but … Read More Read More

When the Summer Brings Smoke When the Summer Brings Smoke By Megan Cutler | September 20, 2021 | Comments 2 comments On a normal day, when I glance out the window in my office, I’m greeted by a series of graceful swoops framed against a bright blue sky.

Freebie Mondays: Six Word Stories (Part 3) Freebie Mondays: Six Word Stories (Part 3) By Megan Cutler | September 13, 2021 | Comments 2 comments Several years ago, while I was looking for content for my (now defunct) Tumblr feed, I stumbled upon a 52 week 6 Word Story challenge. Since Tumblr seemed to favor bite-sized content, I thought this would be the perfect way to generate quick, creative content for my Tumblr feed. I quickly learned the error of … Read More Read More
Three Ways to Prevent a Story from Stagnating Three Ways to Prevent a Story from Stagnating By Megan Cutler | September 6, 2021 | Comments 2 comments It’s hard to let go of a story, especially a long one. You get attached to the characters and the world they live in. As a reader, putting down the final installment of a series feels like losing a friend. As a writer, it’s even harder since you eat, sleep and breathe the details of … Read More Read More

Please head over and take a look! . … Read More Read More
A Taste of Ten Thirst-Quenching Iced Teas A Taste of Ten Thirst-Quenching Iced Teas By Megan Cutler | August 9, 2021 | Comments 2 comments It’s been entirely too long since I talked about tea! And I’m going to admit – I have a tea problem. Not that I have too much tea. You can NEVER have too much tea! (*wink*) But I do have an organization problem. My tea takes up two full cupboard shelves and is starting to … Read More Read More
