How is the Aruvalia Chronicles Progressing? How is the Aruvalia Chronicles Progressing? By Megan Cutler | October 16, 2023 | Comments 0 Comment Somehow, a year and a half has managed to pass since I wrote an update on this project. Oops!

Farewell to 2022, Hello and Welcome 2023 Farewell to 2022, Hello and Welcome 2023 By Megan Cutler | January 9, 2023 | Comments 0 Comment When I opened last year’s blog to start this one, I couldn’t help noticing my first line was ‘I hoped 2021 would be less crazy.’ I suppose I’ve given up believing that things ever get less crazy than they have been. I’m not sure if this was always normal and I just notice more after … Read More Read More

An Aruvalia Chronicles Project Update An Aruvalia Chronicles Project Update By Megan Cutler | April 11, 2022 | Comments 2 comments 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.
