Persistent Creativity Persistent Creativity By Megan Cutler | November 9, 2015 | Comments 2 comments In high school, my friends and I loved Sailor Moon. It was in the midst of revived popularity, largely because the end of season two had finally arrived in America, followed by seasons three and four. Sailor Moon was, in many ways, my gateway to writing. It’s one of those worlds that inspired many writers … Read More Read More
Ye Olde York Ye Olde York By Megan Cutler | October 26, 2015 | Comments 0 Comment Our first experience with York in England was a both lacklustre and whirlwind. We stopped briefly on our way to Edinburgh on a family road trip. We only had time to catch lunch and visit the Jorvik Viking Centre before we hit the road again. My husband and I both agreed we wanted to see … Read More Read More
Celebrate Your Success Celebrate Your Success By Megan Cutler | October 19, 2015 | Comments 1 comment The life of a writer is not for the faint of heart. Every profession has its up and downs but, I think, those related to artistic professions are particularly poignant. I’ve never met another writer who didn’t question if they should give up. I’ve never met another writer that claimed with absolute confidence their work … Read More Read More
The Tower of London The Tower of London By Megan Cutler | October 5, 2015 | Comments 0 Comment The Tower of London is an interesting bit of living history. Though it is no longer a royal residence, and is no longer maintained by the crown, it still plays an active role in the kingdom. The Royal Regiment of Fusiliers is still housed there, as are the Yeomen Warders (better known as ‘Beefeaters‘). Though … Read More Read More
Letting Go Letting Go By Megan Cutler | September 28, 2015 | Comments 0 Comment I often have strange, vivid dreams. I’ve long made practice of journaling my dreams, which encourages you to remember dreams more frequently. I have always used this to farm story ideas. Sometimes, my brain provides other nuggets of wisdom. I have a reoccurring dream that I get angry. I don’t mean normal, every day angry … Read More Read More
The Admonitions Scroll The Admonitions Scroll By Megan Cutler | September 14, 2015 | Comments 1 comment When we learned we’d be leaving England, we decided to see as much as we could before our departure. Flying across an ocean is expensive, and our new destination was even further away than we started. Atop our list were more trips to the British Museum. We had visited the exhibits for all of our … Read More Read More
A Historical Walk of Winchester A Historical Walk of Winchester By Megan Cutler | August 24, 2015 | Comments 0 Comment One of our most anticipated stops during our stay in England was Winchester, a city with a great deal of history. There’s more than enough in the city to fill a full day. We decided to take a self-guided walking tour of the historical city using a pamphlet we picked up from the city’s information … 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
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
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
