An Aruvalia Chronicles Project Update An Aruvalia Chronicles Project Update By Megan Cutler | April 11, 2022 | Comments 2 comments Time is a slippery thing these days. It feels like every time I blink, a couple months slide through my fingers before I notice. That means some of my regular updates have fallen by the wayside, though that was never my intention. For example, I haven’t written a proper Aruvalia Chronicles update since March of … Read More Read More
A Taste of David’s Tea’s 24 Days of Matcha A Taste of David’s Tea’s 24 Days of Matcha By Megan Cutler | February 7, 2022 | Comments 1 comment Remember when I said you can never have too much tea? One of the ways I build my tea collection is sample packs. Loose leaf tea is expensive enough that it helps to have a small taste ahead of time so you know exactly what to expect when you buy 25 – 50 grams of … Read More Read More
The Old Year’s Triumphs and the New Year’s Goals The Old Year’s Triumphs and the New Year’s Goals By Megan Cutler | January 3, 2022 | Comments 3 comments I’m sure I’m not the only person who hoped 2021 would be a little easier than 2020. In retrospect, it really wasn’t. At least not here in British Columbia. A hot, dry spring allowed wild fires to ravage much of the province during the equally hot summer. And in the wake of the first round … Read More Read More

3 Ways to Organize Your Tea Collection 3 Ways to Organize Your Tea Collection By Megan Cutler | November 22, 2021 | Comments 3 comments I wouldn’t say I have a tea problem. (You can never have too much tea!) But I do have something of an obsession. Before we moved house at the end of 2019, my tea stash took up half a kitchen cupboard. After we moved into our newer, bigger space, it quickly spread to encompass an … Read More Read More
After the Nightmare is Available Now! After the Nightmare is Available Now! By Megan Cutler | October 18, 2021 | Comments 0 Comment When I first started writing full-time, I struggled to write every day. I got to the end of most days feeling like a complete failure because, although I had a myriad of ideas, I never made progress. I thought cramming words into breaks and evenings while I was working full time should have been way … Read More Read More
What I’ve Been Up to in 2021 What I’ve Been Up to in 2021 By Megan Cutler | October 4, 2021 | Comments 1 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 4 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. I have come to love these mountains, though they can’t compare to the craggy majesty of the mountains we saw in Scotland. Smaller and blunter though our mountains … Read More Read More
