An Aruvalia Chronicles Project Update An Aruvalia Chronicles Project Update By Megan Cutler | April 11, 2022 | Comments 0 Comment Time is a slippery thing these days. It feels like every time I blink, a couple months slide through my fingers before I notice. That means some of my regular updates have fallen by the wayside, though that was never my intention. For example, I haven’t written a proper Aruvalia Chronicles update since March of … Read More Read More
Freebie Mondays: A Mistborn Faerie Tale Freebie Mondays: A Mistborn Faerie Tale By Megan Cutler | January 10, 2022 | Comments 0 Comment Shortly after writing my Elven Funeral Song, I decided to take another stab at epic poetry writing. This time I wanted to write a nursery rhyme, something that might be recited by children at play. To go about it, I started jotting down all my ideas so that I could then condense them into a … Read More Read More
The Old Year’s Triumphs and the New Year’s Goals The Old Year’s Triumphs and the New Year’s Goals By Megan Cutler | January 3, 2022 | Comments 2 comments I’m sure I’m not the only person who hoped 2021 would be a little easier than 2020. In retrospect, it really wasn’t. At least not here in British Columbia. A hot, dry spring allowed wild fires to ravage much of the province during the equally hot summer. And in the wake of the first round … Read More Read More
Freebie Mondays: Elven Funeral Song Freebie Mondays: Elven Funeral Song By Megan Cutler | November 1, 2021 | Comments 0 Comment I recently planned the third installment in the Aruvalia Chronicles series. There are a number of powerfully emotional scenes looming in the near future. One in particular involves a funeral.

What I’ve Been Up to in 2021 What I’ve Been Up to in 2021 By Megan Cutler | October 4, 2021 | Comments 1 comment I realized this morning it’s been a year since I wrote an update about my writing projects. (Oops!) There’s a reason why it hasn’t occurred to me to say something sooner. (More on that in a moment.) But still, I should rectify that situation. I don’t think I’ve mentioned it on my blog before, but … Read More Read More

Goodbye 2020, Hello 2021 Goodbye 2020, Hello 2021 By Megan Cutler | January 4, 2021 | Comments 0 Comment Well 2020 is finally over. And I think I can safely say, it didn’t go according to anyone’s plans. I had high hopes for 2020. After utterly failing to hit pretty much any of my goals in 2019, I was determined to do better. I wanted to get five books out the door – two … Read More Read More
Freebie Mondays: A Crash Course in Relationships Freebie Mondays: A Crash Course in Relationships By Megan Cutler | May 11, 2020 | Comments 1 comment Around the time I wrote Domerin’s Ring, I had another flash of inspiration. You see, Domerin is quite experienced in relationships by the time he and Crescent decide to give a serious relationship a try. Crescent, on the other hand… is not so much.
