How Writing a Novel is Like Baking a Cake

How Writing a Novel is Like Baking a Cake

By Megan Cutler | April 14, 2025 | Comments 0 Comment

Everything is cake nowadays right? Well writing a novel is a lot like making a layer cake. I’ve used a lot of metaphors to talk about writing. The one that crops up most often is that writing and publishing is a lot like a mountain. If you look at the whole thing from the start, …

Freebie Mondays: The Unfillable Void (Prompt Novel Chapter 19)

By Megan Cutler | April 7, 2025 | Comments 0 Comment

For 2024, I decided to devote my prompt writing time to a novel. The twist is that the novel plot will be generated entirely by the writing prompts I chose to use for the project – which were rolled randomly using my trusty dice and a few online prompt lists. You can find the Table …

How I Learned to Boldly Embrace My Crafting Mistakes

By Megan Cutler | March 31, 2025 | Comments 0 Comment

I spent a significant amount of my life avoiding certain activities because I was nervous about messing up. Maybe this is one of the reasons why they say ‘perfection is the enemy of good.’ If you’re afraid to try something just because you won’t do it right the first time, you miss out on a …

Moving On Doesn’t Always Require Forgiveness

By Megan Cutler | March 10, 2025 | Comments 2 comments

I read a lot of articles relating to psychology. It makes sense; I’m a writer. It’s helpful to know not only how the mind works but how we spot certain character traits and how certain behaviors can make us feel. Most of those articles are research, and I don’t take them too seriously. But sometimes …

I like long book series. Though I don’t think that will come as a shock to anyone who frequents my blog. I like them for a lot of reasons. But one of the big ones is that every time I set out to write a story, it quickly grows extra threads and offshoots. I get …

Freebie Mondays: A Second Prompt Novel Update

By Megan Cutler | February 17, 2025 | Comments 5 comments

It’s been awhile since I wrote an update on my prompt novel project – so it feels like it’s time. Mostly because I want to make it easier to find the chapters I’ve written so far. And the best way to do that is to make an updated table of contents that links to all …

A Long Awaited Cross Stitch Update

By Megan Cutler | February 10, 2025 | Comments 0 Comment

During the pandemic, I returned to an old hobby – cross stitching. I’m still not entirely sure why I originally set the practice aside, nor why I suddenly decided to pick it up again. I guess the need to fill time causes us to dredge up even the dustiest of our old hobbies. After the …
