Breaking the Bubble Breaking the Bubble By Megan Cutler | June 9, 2014 | Comments 3 comments People don’t believe me anymore when I tell them I’m shy. “But you’re so outgoing!” They’ll say. “You never seem to have trouble interacting with anyone!” But they don’t know it’s all an act. There’s lots of comics floating around on the Internet explaining what it’s like to be an introvert. Until I read them, … Read More Read More
Taking the Leap Taking the Leap By Megan Cutler | June 2, 2014 | Comments 1 comment There seems to be an eternal debate between Traditional Publishing and Self-publishing. People will argue over which is ‘better,’ with certain camps believing adamantly that self-publication ‘doesn’t count.’ I’m not here to throw my two cents into the ring; it’s obvious where my opinion falls. Suffice to say, there are advantages and disadvantages to each … Read More Read More
The Elgin Marbles The Elgin Marbles By Megan Cutler | May 26, 2014 | Comments 0 Comment My husband is sometimes sent to London for workshops. So when they sent him on a Friday, the night the British Museum is open late, we decided we’d spend a few more hours exploring its hallowed halls. A friend had already asked what we thought of the Elgin Marbles, so we made that our first … Read More Read More
Temporary Living Temporary Living By Megan Cutler | May 19, 2014 | Comments 0 Comment One of my best friends is a navy wife. A few years back, after a particularly bad move, she spoke to me about living life in limbo. She does this every few years; packs it all up and moves wherever her husband is reassigned. I told her once I didn’t know how she managed. She … Read More Read More
Who Am I? Who Am I? By Megan Cutler | May 12, 2014 | Comments 3 comments I’m sure it’s a bit late for a post like this, but I realized I’ve never properly introduced myself on this blog. And in light of current events, it seems appropriate. My name is Megan Cutler. I’m 28 years old and I’m a writer. Books have been a part of my life as far back … Read More Read More
When Time Began to Tick When Time Began to Tick By Megan Cutler | April 28, 2014 | Comments 1 comment Lest you think I forgot… Some time ago I mentioned our first trip to the British Museum and the time we spent wandering the Egyptian exhibits. Believe it or not, the day was only half over at that point. My husband wanted to check out the early British history section, so that was our next … Read More Read More
Egypt, Egypt, Egypt Egypt, Egypt, Egypt By Megan Cutler | March 17, 2014 | Comments 1 comment When we learned we were coming to England, there was never any question we’d visit the British Museum several times. It’s the kind of must-see location you wouldn’t want to cram into a single day. Even approaching the building was exciting. In England, there seem to be a lot of large gates with small doors … Read More Read More
A Meat Loaf for Every Moment A Meat Loaf for Every Moment By Megan Cutler | March 10, 2014 | Comments 1 comment Music has always played an important role in my life. In high school, I participated in both the chorus and the band, and that participation resulted in some of the most stressful and most memorable moments of my life. I’m almost always listening to music. I listen to music when I travel, when I relax, … Read More Read More
Always Check the Weather Always Check the Weather By Megan Cutler | February 24, 2014 | Comments 1 comment When we finally got settled into our apartment, we took our first serious look at sightseeing since our arrival. Turns out English schools have a half-term break for every term (and three terms). Unlike the usual two terms that we’re used to. Canadian schools don’t get a major break until Christmas, so it was a … Read More Read More
