A Life Resumed A Life Resumed By Megan Cutler | August 11, 2014 | Comments 0 Comment A year ago we packed our life into storage and flew across the ocean for an amazing adventure. It wasn’t easy, selling our first house on short notice, leaving behind everything we spent a decade building, but we did it because we’ve always believed in following our dreams. I never imagined marrying a teacher would … Read More Read More
Summer Vacation! Summer Vacation! By Megan Cutler | July 28, 2014 | Comments 0 Comment English schools run quite a bit later than we’re used to. Here we are at the end of July and we’ve finally reached hubby’s first full week of summer vacation! (Canadian Schools finished back in June!) They get lots of little breaks throughout the year instead (which was strange for us, but also convenient). So … Read More Read More
Nothing to Hide Nothing to Hide By Megan Cutler | July 21, 2014 | Comments 0 Comment So many videos go viral these days, I rarely pay attention. While scrolling through my Facebook newsfeed this one caught my eye. It’s a makeup advertisement (and a few years old it seems). The company asked the most tattooed man in the world – every inch of his body is covered in ink, including his … Read More Read More
100 Words of Work 100 Words of Work By Megan Cutler | July 14, 2014 | Comments 2 comments As I’ve said many a time, I prefer goals to resolutions when the new year rolls around. This year, in an attempt to improve and focus my writing, I undertook the 100 Words of Work project. Writing as a profession involves a lot more than just putting words on a page and I chose the … Read More Read More
The Stone Circle The Stone Circle By Megan Cutler | July 7, 2014 | Comments 5 comments Not long ago, I mentioned Stonehenge on my list of things to see someday. One of my dearest friends (the same one who took me to Disney World a couple years ago) felt the same way. So it became the first major trip of our visit. My in-laws decided to rent a car, partly because … Read More Read More
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

Get Published Podcast Get Published Podcast By Megan Cutler | June 18, 2014 | Comments 0 Comment My co-author, James, and I recently appeared on the Get Published Podcast. We talked about long-distance collaboration, self-publishing and, of course, Island of Lost Forevers. I’m a bit late to the punch with this announcement (sorry about that), but one of the joys of the Internet is infinite shelf space; check it out! Get Published … Read More Read More
Medieval Guildford Medieval Guildford By Megan Cutler | June 16, 2014 | Comments 1 comment When company came to visit from across the ocean, we put together a large itinerary that would let us hit all the major sites. But when all was said and done, we had an extra day with nothing planned. It fell at the beginning of the trip, so we decided to hit somewhere close to … Read More Read More
Breaking the Bubble Breaking the Bubble By Megan Cutler | June 9, 2014 | Comments 3 comments People don’t believe me anymore when I tell them I’m shy. “But you’re so outgoing!” They’ll say. “You never seem to have trouble interacting with anyone!” But they don’t know it’s all an act. There’s lots of comics floating around on the Internet explaining what it’s like to be an introvert. Until I read them, … Read More Read More
