Missed Opportunities Missed Opportunities By Megan Cutler | June 30, 2014 | Comments 0 Comment Book blurbs and movie trailers serve the same purpose; to hook the audience. They give you a little taste of what you can expect, just enough to reel you in, then they leave you hanging. Writing a good book blurb or cutting a good trailer are another blog post. For the longest time, it seemed … Read More Read More

We talked about long-distance collaboration, self-publishing and, of course, Island of Lost Forevers.

Taking the Leap Taking the Leap By Megan Cutler | June 2, 2014 | Comments 1 comment There seems to be an eternal debate between Traditional Publishing and Self-publishing. People will argue over which is ‘better,’ with certain camps believing adamantly that self-publication ‘doesn’t count.’ I’m not here to throw my two cents into the ring; it’s obvious where my opinion falls. Suffice to say, there are advantages and disadvantages to each … Read More Read More

And in light of current events, it seems appropriate. My name is Megan Cutler. I’m 28 years old and I’m a writer. Books have been a part of my life as far back … Read More Read More
Coming Soon – Island of Lost Forevers Coming Soon – Island of Lost Forevers By Megan Cutler | April 21, 2014 | Comments 3 comments Ten years ago, I began an incredible journey.

A Rose Without a Name A Rose Without a Name By Megan Cutler | March 31, 2014 | Comments 0 Comment As I strive to improve my writing, I take note of my bad habits. Words I tend to use too often, awkward phrasing, the unfortunate tendency to write in past perfect tense. One of my worst habits is avoiding names. Minor characters end up as confusing jumbles of description, repeatedly referenced, just so I don’t … Read More Read More

In high school, I participated in both the chorus and the band, and that participation resulted in some of the most stressful and most memorable moments of my life. I’m almost always listening to music. I listen to music when I travel, when I relax, … Read More Read More
Like Breath Like Breath By Megan Cutler | January 27, 2014 | Comments 2 comments Writers talk a lot about how they write. It’s a question people (including other writers) ask a lot. We also talk about why we write. What got us interested or involved in writing. The question people don’t ask, is what happens to a writer when they stop writing? It’s strange that the topic isn’t addressed … Read More Read More
