Freebie Mondays: From the Ashes (Story 13 of 22 Stories in 2022) Freebie Mondays: From the Ashes (Story 13 of 22 Stories in 2022) By Megan Cutler | November 7, 2022 | Comments 0 Comment Since I write roughly 22 stories every year, I thought it might be fun to do a project for 2022. In 2022, the 22 shorts I write for my blog will be taken from prompts related to the 31 stories in 31 days project from January of 2022. Each will relate to the multiverse that … Read More Read More
Introducing Harmony – Book 6 in the Celestial Serenade! Introducing Harmony – Book 6 in the Celestial Serenade! By Megan Cutler | October 24, 2022 | Comments 0 Comment My mother introduced me to Star Wars as a teenager, and my love for space operas was born. We had the original trilogy – prior to any form of edits – on VHS, and I’m surprised I didn’t wear them out from watching them so many times. It was one of the stories that encouraged … Read More Read More
Does Writing ‘The End’ Make You Feel Sad? Does Writing ‘The End’ Make You Feel Sad? By Megan Cutler | September 12, 2022 | Comments 0 Comment Perhaps no event is more exciting for a writer than being able to type the end. From the moment we first touch an idea to paper, from the earliest outlining stages or the first paragraph written, we dream about finishing. And usually by the time we hit the final page, we’re good and ready to … Read More Read More
Introducing Unity – Book 5 in the Celestial Serenade! Introducing Unity – Book 5 in the Celestial Serenade! By Megan Cutler | June 20, 2022 | Comments 0 Comment You’d think it would get easier to write these release announcements. In truth, it gets harder and harder to talk about a series without revealing spoilers. As excited as I am to share this story with the world, I don’t want to inadvertently ruin anything for the people who have waited months to learn what … Read More Read More
Freebie Mondays: The Evolution of Symphony of the Stars Freebie Mondays: The Evolution of Symphony of the Stars By Megan Cutler | April 25, 2022 | Comments 0 Comment I’ve been taking a look at the various iterations of my published novels to see how they change between drafts. I started by looking at Dreamers Do Lie which, because I took a significant break in between the first and second drafts, has a few less versions to look at. The Celestial Serenade, on the … Read More Read More
Make Your OTP (One True Pairing)! Make Your OTP (One True Pairing)! By Megan Cutler | March 21, 2022 | Comments 0 Comment I put my first book each year out in February. This year, I hoped to coordinate that release with Valentine’s day. (Sadly, it didn’t work out. I needed an extra week to polish the book properly.) But I had already come up with a cute idea for a Valentine’s themed stream to promote the new … Read More Read More
Freebie Mondays: Symphony of the Stars Deleted Scenes Freebie Mondays: Symphony of the Stars Deleted Scenes By Megan Cutler | February 28, 2022 | Comments 0 Comment A few weeks ago I shared a look at some older drafts of Dreamers Do Lie. It’s interesting to see just how much a story changes during the writing process. One thing I hear writers talk about a lot is deleted content. I keep separate draft files for all of my manuscripts in case I … Read More Read More
Introducing Duality – Book 4 in the Celestial Serenade! Introducing Duality – Book 4 in the Celestial Serenade! By Megan Cutler | February 21, 2022 | Comments 2 comments Every time I’ve tried to write a standalone novel, it grows a sequel mid-way through the first draft. Not that I’m complaining. I’ve always been a fan of fantasy and sci-fi series – my bookshelves can attest to that. I just never anticipated I would write anything longer than one book or, maybe, three. 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 2 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
Symphony of the Stars is Finally Here! Symphony of the Stars is Finally Here! By Megan Cutler | December 13, 2021 | Comments 2 comments 2021 has been an exciting year for me. For the first time, I managed put out six new books. (One every other month.) It has taken a lot of ups and downs, but I finally seem to have found my publishing groove. But the most exciting release for me is the one I’m writing this … Read More Read More
