The Tower of London The Tower of London By Megan Cutler | October 5, 2015 | Comments 0 Comment The Tower of London is an interesting bit of living history. Though it is no longer a royal residence, and is no longer maintained by the crown, it still plays an active role in the kingdom. The Royal Regiment of Fusiliers is still housed there, as are the Yeomen Warders (better known as ‘Beefeaters‘). Though … Read More Read More
Letting Go Letting Go By Megan Cutler | September 28, 2015 | Comments 0 Comment I often have strange, vivid dreams. I’ve long made practice of journaling my dreams, which encourages you to remember dreams more frequently. I have always used this to farm story ideas. Sometimes, my brain provides other nuggets of wisdom. I have a reoccurring dream that I get angry. I don’t mean normal, every day angry … Read More Read More
The Admonitions Scroll The Admonitions Scroll By Megan Cutler | September 14, 2015 | Comments 1 comment When we learned we’d be leaving England, we decided to see as much as we could before our departure. Flying across an ocean is expensive, and our new destination was even further away than we started. Atop our list were more trips to the British Museum. We had visited the exhibits for all of our … Read More Read More
Killing Your Darlings Killing Your Darlings By Megan Cutler | September 7, 2015 | Comments 1 comment I’ve never enjoyed editing my work (though I have come to love the end result). Don’t get me wrong; editing is a necessary evil. No writer can form perfect prose the first time around. But editing takes much more effort for me than writing. It inevitably ends up a slog. And for a long time, … Read More Read More
Five Simple Self-Care Tips Five Simple Self-Care Tips By Megan Cutler | August 31, 2015 | Comments 0 Comment The world is demanding these days. But it isn’t just society that piles constant demands on our shoulders. We’re unkind to ourselves, demanding ever growing quantities of productivity to feel satisfied we’ve done our best. And when we aren’t working, there’s always something else we tell ourselves we ‘should’ be doing. But it’s rare that … Read More Read More
A Historical Walk of Winchester A Historical Walk of Winchester By Megan Cutler | August 24, 2015 | Comments 0 Comment One of our most anticipated stops during our stay in England was Winchester, a city with a great deal of history. There’s more than enough in the city to fill a full day. We decided to take a self-guided walking tour of the historical city using a pamphlet we picked up from the city’s information … Read More Read More
The Meaning of Privacy The Meaning of Privacy By Megan Cutler | August 17, 2015 | Comments 0 Comment When I was young, we never imagined a camera in every phone. We hadn’t even realized you’d be able to use portable CD players the same way you used a walkman cassette player and, in fact, cameras still required film. Oh boy, I’m dating myself! What a fantastic and novel concept, a portable database of … Read More Read More
Highlights Highlights By Megan Cutler | August 3, 2015 | Comments 0 Comment When we finished our tour of the British Museum Enlightenment gallery, a mini museum of its own, we headed toward a special exhibit centred around the Vikings. I wasn’t fond of the way the British Museum laid out their special exhibits. It seemed random and lacklustre compared to a place like the ROM, which tends … Read More Read More
It’s All Connected It’s All Connected By Megan Cutler | July 27, 2015 | Comments 2 comments About a year ago I discovered Yoga. I had just suffered a month of major upheaval. It was though I forgot how to sleep. I would lay in bed until 5AM, then finally drift off for three our four hours. I wasn’t getting anywhere near enough sleep and I woke up way too late to … Read More Read More
The Mystery of the Ogopogo The Mystery of the Ogopogo By Megan Cutler | July 20, 2015 | Comments 0 Comment Did you know the Loch Ness monster has a little brother? Apparently he lives in a lake in British Columbia. Actually, I’m sure Nessie has many ‘siblings’ that inhabit many lakes across the world. These creatures are known as cryptids (part of the pseudoscience referred to as ‘cryptozoology’). That is, creatures which have been suggested, … Read More Read More
