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
Make Your OTP (One True Pairing)! Make Your OTP (One True Pairing)! By Megan Cutler | March 21, 2022 | Comments 0 Comment I put my first book each year out in February. This year, I hoped to coordinate that release with Valentine’s day. (Sadly, it didn’t work out. I needed an extra week to polish the book properly.) But I had already come up with a cute idea for a Valentine’s themed stream to promote the new … Read More Read More
Freebie Mondays: Symphony of the Stars Deleted Scenes Freebie Mondays: Symphony of the Stars Deleted Scenes By Megan Cutler | February 28, 2022 | Comments 0 Comment A few weeks ago I shared a look at some older drafts of Dreamers Do Lie. It’s interesting to see just how much a story changes during the writing process. One thing I hear writers talk about a lot is deleted content. I keep separate draft files for all of my manuscripts in case I … Read More Read More
Introducing Duality – Book 4 in the Celestial Serenade! Introducing Duality – Book 4 in the Celestial Serenade! By Megan Cutler | February 21, 2022 | Comments 2 comments Every time I’ve tried to write a standalone novel, it grows a sequel mid-way through the first draft. Not that I’m complaining. I’ve always been a fan of fantasy and sci-fi series – my bookshelves can attest to that. I just never anticipated I would write anything longer than one book or, maybe, three. Of … Read More Read More
Freebie Mondays: the Phases of Dreamers Do Lie Freebie Mondays: the Phases of Dreamers Do Lie By Megan Cutler | January 31, 2022 | Comments 3 comments I decided to do something interesting (and a tiny bit dangerous). I opened an old draft of one of my novels and used Word’s comparison feature to examine how much it changed. For those that aren’t familiar with this particular feature, it essentially highlights in red every change made between the different versions of the … 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 3 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
Symphony of the Stars is Finally Here! Symphony of the Stars is Finally Here! By Megan Cutler | December 13, 2021 | Comments 2 comments 2021 has been an exciting year for me. For the first time, I managed put out six new books. (One every other month.) It has taken a lot of ups and downs, but I finally seem to have found my publishing groove. But the most exciting release for me is the one I’m writing this … Read More Read More
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
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
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
