Announcing a New and Improved Eternity’s Empire Saga Announcing a New and Improved Eternity’s Empire Saga By Megan Cutler | May 20, 2019 | Comments 3 comments I like to start every year with a list of things I’d like to accomplish.

I’ve toured several since I started this blog, and always make a point of documenting the experience.

I keep the Monetary Bay Aquarium’s Jellyfish cam on bookmark for … Read More Read More

What Does Writing Look Like To You? What Does Writing Look Like To You? By Megan Cutler | April 15, 2019 | Comments 1 comment Sometimes, I wonder what people think of me. I’m sure I strike an odd sight. I spend a lot of time parked in front of my computer screen, reading over or adding to strange documents. My secondary screen holds a smattering of digital post-it-notes. They often grow out of control before I cull their numbers. … Read More Read More
