2 Things I Wish I Knew When I was Younger 2 Things I Wish I Knew When I was Younger By Megan Cutler | March 8, 2021 | Comments 4 comments When we’re young, everyone tells us that adult life is hard. But I recall as a teenager brushing those sage words aside, reassuring myself that things would all work out even though I didn’t know exactly how. Spoiler – things definitely didn’t work out the way I thought they would. But for all that adulting … 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 4 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
More Adventures in Map Making More Adventures in Map Making By Megan Cutler | January 25, 2021 | Comments 0 Comment Last year I published 4 brand new books (across two different series). Which feels like a lot when you consider that in 2019 I published absolutely nothing new. For each of my new releases, I try to devote blog time to the project’s development. I like allowing readers to glimpse inside my brain at various … 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
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
The Dream Things True Boxset is finally here! The Dream Things True Boxset is finally here! By Megan Cutler | December 14, 2020 | Comments 0 Comment I think we can all agree 2020 has been a long and bizarre year. When I penned my goals for 2020 I, like everyone else, had no idea that things were going to turn upside down in March. Unlike in previous years where I simply wrote down things I would like to be able to … 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
The Family You Choose is Now Available! The Family You Choose is Now Available! By Megan Cutler | August 24, 2020 | Comments 0 Comment A few weeks ago, a friend of mine sent a text to let me know he had finished reading The Bond Between Sisters – the fourth installment in the Eternity’s Empire series. He became interested in the series after reading Dreamers Do Lie and, to my elation, he tore through the whole thing. He said … Read More Read More
Transforming Inspiration into a Fantastic Novel Setting Transforming Inspiration into a Fantastic Novel Setting By Megan Cutler | August 17, 2020 | Comments 1 comment One of my biggest inspirations for Dreamers Do Lie was Dante’s Inferno, as I mentioned a few weeks ago when I reviewed the anatomy of Dante’s Hell. There were several reasons I ultimately simplified my fantasy version of Hell, though I kind of ran out of room to talk about them last time. So I … Read More Read More
