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
Freebie Mondays: Elven Funeral Song Freebie Mondays: Elven Funeral Song By Megan Cutler | November 1, 2021 | Comments 0 Comment I recently planned the third installment in the Aruvalia Chronicles series. There are a number of powerfully emotional scenes looming in the near future. One in particular involves a funeral. The more this particular scene coalesces in my head, the more I want there to be some kind of funeral dirge this particular culture uses … 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
Goodbye 2020, Hello 2021 Goodbye 2020, Hello 2021 By Megan Cutler | January 4, 2021 | Comments 0 Comment Well 2020 is finally over. And I think I can safely say, it didn’t go according to anyone’s plans. I had high hopes for 2020. After utterly failing to hit pretty much any of my goals in 2019, I was determined to do better. I wanted to get five books out the door – two … Read More Read More
Freebie Mondays: A Crash Course in Relationships Freebie Mondays: A Crash Course in Relationships By Megan Cutler | May 11, 2020 | Comments 1 comment Around the time I wrote Domerin’s Ring, I had another flash of inspiration. You see, Domerin is quite experienced in relationships by the time he and Crescent decide to give a serious relationship a try. Crescent, on the other hand… is not so much. I had a conversation with my writing partner (Crescent’s creator) and … Read More Read More
Once Upon a Dream – Book Three First Draft Complete Once Upon a Dream – Book Three First Draft Complete By Megan Cutler | March 23, 2020 | Comments 1 comment I have finished penning the first draft of Once Upon a Dream – Domerin‘s first official trilogy. This report on the third and final installment comes a little late because, like everything else in my life, it has been heavily affected by our recent move. As I mentioned during my update about the second installment, … Read More Read More
Freebie Mondays: Domerin’s Ring Freebie Mondays: Domerin’s Ring By Megan Cutler | January 27, 2020 | Comments 1 comment Since I started working on Domerin’s novel, he hasn’t been cropping into my writing prompts as often. On the one hand, it’s a bit of a relief to be able to explore other things while keeping him satisfied. On the other, I still need him to talk to me sometimes. This is a scene that … Read More Read More
Once Upon a Dream – Book Two First Draft Complete Once Upon a Dream – Book Two First Draft Complete By Megan Cutler | January 20, 2020 | Comments 0 Comment I forgot how much I hate moving. There was a time we seemed to move every other year and I got used to it. In fact, I was eager for our last move. It brought us back to Canada from England – back to the familiar and easy to navigate. I had checklists and backup … Read More Read More
Old Year Reflection and New Year Goals Old Year Reflection and New Year Goals By Megan Cutler | January 6, 2020 | Comments 2 comments It’s that time of year again! Time to bid farewell to the old year and hello to the new one. I like to spend the last few weeks of the old year reflecting on the goals I set to see how I ultimately succeeded (or failed). Then, of course, I set some new goals to … Read More Read More
Once Upon a Dream – Book One First Draft Complete Once Upon a Dream – Book One First Draft Complete By Megan Cutler | November 4, 2019 | Comments 0 Comment Back in April I announced a new project. Once Upon a Dream is a series that has been kicking around in my head since 2011, so it’s been great to finally get the words on the page. I devoted a month to planning earlier in the year, in hopes the time between outlining and starting … Read More Read More
