Colours Colours By Megan Cutler | August 7, 2015 | Comments 1 comment Blood dripped from the edge of his blade, bright scarlet against the steel. It filled his nostrils with an acrid tang, his mouth with the taste of iron. It oozed, hot and sticky, from the wound in his forehead, long but shallow. Kneeling, he wiped the blade clean on the shirt of one of the … 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
She Studied her Face in the Mirror She Studied her Face in the Mirror By Megan Cutler | July 31, 2015 | Comments 6 comments Who should I be tonight? The bright light stung her eyes as she settled in front of the vanity mirror. Pale blue eyes stared back at her. They would glitter gold when she finished inserting the contacts that concealed their true color. The key was how she chose to decorate her eyelids. Did she want … 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
Shiny and Chrome Shiny and Chrome By Megan Cutler | July 13, 2015 | Comments 0 Comment I’ve made my feelings about Mad Max; Fury Road loud and clear; I love it. I would put it on endless repeat, if I could. We went to see it twice, which is something my husband and I rarely do. But we loved the original Mad Max, and we loved Road Warrior even more (you … Read More Read More
Meta Museum Meta Museum By Megan Cutler | July 6, 2015 | Comments 1 comment When you only have one day to spend at the British Museum, where do you start? My husband and I were lucky enough to be members for a year and, during that time, we tried to visit as many sections of the museum as possible. But when his family came to visit, we had only … Read More Read More
When to Start When to Start By Megan Cutler | June 29, 2015 | Comments 2 comments Way in the long ago, I wrote about my writing process. I wrote a whole post before I touched on the actual writing bit. I tend to devote serious time to the planning stages because I like to have a quick-reference of pertinent details about the world and characters I’m working with before I outline. … Read More Read More
How Do You Like to Game? How Do You Like to Game? By Megan Cutler | June 22, 2015 | Comments 2 comments For a long time, I’ve wanted to write about my favourite video games. The problem is, they change so rapidly, the post would likely be out of date by the time it went up. (For those that don’t know, I write my blogs about a month in advance.) But today I had a brilliant idea … Read More Read More
Donnington Castle Donnington Castle By Megan Cutler | June 15, 2015 | Comments 0 Comment At the end of our trip to Scotland, half our international visitors had to return home, while the other half were headed on a two-week European tour. Some of us were vacationed out by that point (we did a lot of walking!) but we still had time with the remaining half our company. Luckily there’s … Read More Read More
