Spring Waffles Spring Waffles By Megan Cutler | March 16, 2015 | Comments 0 Comment It’s hard to believe how fast the year has gone; it’s already time for spring break! This year, a very good friend of mine is making the journey north to admire our beautiful mountains, eat our fabulous poutine, and make use of our nifty guest room. So I will be AFK for the next two … Read More Read More
Character Introduction: The Empath Character Introduction: The Empath By Megan Cutler | March 9, 2015 | Comments 0 Comment As I chip away at the final book in the trilogy, telling the end of a story I started more than ten years ago, my mind drifts back to the days when the Mystic Island was nothing but a couple of wispy ideas. I don’t think I’ve devoted enough time to discussing the conception and … Read More Read More
Fun with Playlist Synergy Fun with Playlist Synergy By Megan Cutler | March 2, 2015 | Comments 0 Comment As I’ve mentioned on numerous occasions, I have playlists for everything. I have playlists to get me in the mood to write, lists for while I’m writing and epic music to listen to while I’m editing (because I need particular inspiration during that part of the process). I have play lists for when I need … Read More Read More
Dunnotar Castle Dunnotar Castle By Megan Cutler | February 23, 2015 | Comments 3 comments Of all the things we saw while we were in the UK, Dunnotar Castle has to be my favourite. Don’t get me wrong; Stonehenge was beyond amazing, and something I’d longed to see most of my life. But never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined visiting a place like Dunnotar Castle (perhaps partly … Read More Read More
Stuff and Things Stuff and Things By Megan Cutler | February 16, 2015 | Comments 0 Comment I’ve written at length about the amazing adventure my husband and I embarked upon a year and a half ago when he accepted a job in the UK. I don’t think either of us believed it would actually happen when he received the email invitation. But it did and, amazing as it was, I’d be … Read More Read More
The Power of Love The Power of Love By Megan Cutler | February 9, 2015 | Comments 1 comment Growing up, we awakened at the fun-filled hour of five AM so that our mom could take us to day care in time to get to work. I don’t remember much from those haze-filled hours where I rolled out of bed and stumbled down the stairs after several attempts to roll over and go back … Read More Read More
The History of Scotland The History of Scotland By Megan Cutler | February 2, 2015 | Comments 1 comment The National Museum of Scotland has a unique wing dedicated to the complete history of Scotland. It spans about five floors, moving up a tower from the base of the museum to the top. Many museums present the history of a location with the layout of their exhibits, but none quite so thoroughly as the … Read More Read More
Writer’s Block is Real Writer’s Block is Real By Megan Cutler | January 26, 2015 | Comments 0 Comment A lot of blogs I’ve read lately boldly proclaim writer’s block is fictional. Many seem convinced it’s a figment of the imagination, an illusory hurdle writers create for themselves, adding to a road already littered with pitfalls. I believe the purpose of these posts is encouragement; to awaken us to the fact that the journey … Read More Read More
Comfort Food Comfort Food By Megan Cutler | January 19, 2015 | Comments 0 Comment It’s been awhile since I talked about cooking. While we lived in the UK, we had a small kitchen and didn’t have room to store the bulk ingredients you usually keep stocked in the pantry. We made due as best we could but, now that we’re back, we’re happy to stretch our culinary muscles once … Read More Read More
The Athens of the North The Athens of the North By Megan Cutler | January 12, 2015 | Comments 2 comments I rarely fall in love with a place right away. I take comfort in the familiar, and travel to any new location makes me feel out of sorts, at least for awhile. But I fell in love with Scotland the minute I set foot in it. There’s a beauty in the rolling hills, soaring mountains … Read More Read More
