After the Nightmare is Available Now! After the Nightmare is Available Now! By Megan Cutler | October 18, 2021 | Comments 0 Comment When I first started writing full-time, I struggled to write every day. I got to the end of most days feeling like a complete failure because, although I had a myriad of ideas, I never made progress. I thought cramming words into breaks and evenings while I was working full time should have been way … Read More Read More
Three Ways to Prevent a Story from Stagnating Three Ways to Prevent a Story from Stagnating By Megan Cutler | September 6, 2021 | Comments 2 comments It’s hard to let go of a story, especially a long one. You get attached to the characters and the world they live in. As a reader, putting down the final installment of a series feels like losing a friend. As a writer, it’s even harder since you eat, sleep and breathe the details of … Read More Read More
Tales of the Exiles is Now Available! Tales of the Exiles is Now Available! By Megan Cutler | August 23, 2021 | Comments 0 Comment Way back when I release Secrets of the Past – the third book in the Eternity’s Empire series – I was still releasing the series chapter by chapter. So each of the five main characters received a special blog post detailing their mythological origins. It seems only fair that the secondary set of characters – … Read More Read More
Across the Void is Available Now! Across the Void is Available Now! By Megan Cutler | June 14, 2021 | Comments 1 comment I used to read series filled with 500 page books and marvel. How could anyone fill the pages with such dense story that 500 pages never felt like a slog? That I would devote my time, over and over, to the next installment to find out more about the exciting lives of my characters? I’ve … Read More Read More
Meet the Celestial Serenade Caltaran Crew Meet the Celestial Serenade Caltaran Crew By Megan Cutler | May 10, 2021 | Comments 0 Comment A few weeks ago I mentioned that, while several characters pop up fairly often around here, the major characters in the Celestial Serenade haven’t really. I wrote most of the first two trilogies in the series before I started this blog in earnest. And while I spend a lot of time getting to know other … Read More Read More
Meet the Celestial Serenade Human Crew Meet the Celestial Serenade Human Crew By Megan Cutler | April 26, 2021 | Comments 1 comment I talk about characters a lot on my blog. Some of them pop up over and over again, like Domerin and Azmih. That’s because these characters have been with me a long time, but many of their novel projects are still forthcoming. So I tend to write bits and drabbles to tide me over until … Read More Read More
The End of All Things is Available Now! The End of All Things is Available Now! By Megan Cutler | February 15, 2021 | Comments 3 comments In May of 2008, I started a new chapter in my life. Roughly two years prior, I came to the realization that this adulting thing wasn’t exactly turning out the way I anticipated. It turned out I didn’t become a bestselling author by the time I turned 20. In fact, I had no effing clue … Read More Read More
The Oracle’s Tale is Finally Complete! The Oracle’s Tale is Finally Complete! By Megan Cutler | January 18, 2021 | Comments 0 Comment I’ve been composing and posting writing prompts on this blog for just about five years now. (In terms of the number I’ve written, at any rate. In actual dates, it’s probably closer to six years!) They started as a fun little writing exercise to challenge myself and try new things. I decided to share them … Read More Read More
Announcing Life is But a Dream – Available Now! Announcing Life is But a Dream – Available Now! By Megan Cutler | October 12, 2020 | Comments 2 comments Way back in 2008, when I wrote Dreamers Do Lie for the first time, I did it wrong. It was the first time I made notes. The first time I planned ahead. The first time I knew how a story was going to end from the moment I started. I thought that would be enough … Read More Read More
A Behind the Scenes Look at My First Fantasy Cosmology A Behind the Scenes Look at My First Fantasy Cosmology By Megan Cutler | September 14, 2020 | Comments 0 Comment One of the big things writers like to talk about in regards to novels is theme. Some writers suggest determining theme early in the writing process so you can make everything fit it. But this has never been my approach. I usually allow my stories to develop a theme while I’m working on them. Once … Read More Read More
