I Miss the Girl You Were I Miss the Girl You Were By Megan Cutler | July 21, 2017 | Comments 0 Comment I first encountered this prompt on Tumblr.

Death is Hungry; A Tale of Gluttony Death is Hungry; A Tale of Gluttony By Megan Cutler | July 14, 2017 | Comments 0 Comment This is sort of an indirect follow-up to the story I posted last week, Blood for the Dead. When I sat down to do this second round of Seven Deadly Sins prompts, I had a hard time choosing a second candidate for Gluttony. I was starting to think I would have to leave the series … Read More Read More

Blood for the Dead Blood for the Dead By Megan Cutler | July 7, 2017 | Comments 0 Comment As I mentioned in my blog post on Monday, where I introduced Azmih and explained some of his history, I wrote this story for a class I took in college.

Servant of Death Servant of Death By Megan Cutler | July 3, 2017 | Comments 2 comments I’ve started writing more about Azmih, my lonely and mysterious Necromancer. He always seems popular when he pops up. Like Reianna, he’s a character that I keep coming back to, keep chipping away at, trying to find his final form. He has a story to tell, I’m just not sure what form it takes or … Read More Read More

Confidence Can Be Found In Unexpected Places Confidence Can Be Found In Unexpected Places By Megan Cutler | June 26, 2017 | Comments 0 Comment A few weeks ago (as I write this, rather than as you read it), we had to file our taxes. Everyone dreads tax time, of course. Who wants to discover they owe the government money? Even if you’re getting a return, tax time is a stressful mix of gathering all the relevant information and hoping … Read More Read More
Childhood Bliss Childhood Bliss By Megan Cutler | June 23, 2017 | Comments 0 Comment A long time ago, I wrote the prologue for what I hope will one day be Rose’s story. I really liked the concept at the time so I’ve kept it squirreled away on my hard drive. You may have noticed that a little while back I went digging and found a bunch of old writing. … Read More Read More
Why I Hate the Five Star Rating System Why I Hate the Five Star Rating System By Megan Cutler | June 19, 2017 | Comments 5 comments Awhile back, my friend Beth wrote about her frustrations with the five star rating system used by most sites, including Amazon and Goodreads. Even if you use half stars, cramming your opinion into such a small numerical scale is tricky. First of all, where do you draw the line between a three and a four? … Read More Read More
