What Does Success Actually Mean to You? What Does Success Actually Mean to You? By Megan Cutler | April 10, 2017 | Comments 3 comments Three years ago, I pressed publish for the first time, releasing Island of Lost Forevers into the wild. I was alone in my living room in England at the time. I was nervous, excited and maybe a bit sick to my stomach. Sometimes I’m not certain how I found the courage to click the button; … Read More Read More
Blood of the Chosen; A Tale of Wrath Blood of the Chosen; A Tale of Wrath By Megan Cutler | April 7, 2017 | Comments 0 Comment To an outside observer, the altar looked like nothing more than charred remains peeking from the ruins of some long forgotten temple. It was only when Reianna entered the timestream that she could see the walls gleaming almost iridescent with tiny pinpricks of glittering gold shining in the light. Blue-green torches flared on either side … Read More Read More

Phage and the Guardian at the Gates Phage and the Guardian at the Gates By Megan Cutler | April 3, 2017 | Comments 0 Comment I’ve done a pretty good job introducing the characters who inhabit the settings I write about most often. But I seem to have overlooked one of the main characters in my Modern Fantasy setting. I’ve talked about Domerin, Rose and Silkfoot, even Cazella. But I somehow neglected to mention Lilianna; aka Phage or, as she’s … Read More Read More
Star Myth (A World Building Prompt) Star Myth (A World Building Prompt) By Megan Cutler | March 31, 2017 | Comments 0 Comment Here’s another one that comes from Tumblr’s writing community; Pick out a constellation, name it and write its myth. You can choose the culture whose star myth you are writing, or create one of your own. Okay, not exactly a constellation, but I had toyed with this idea before and liked the idea of expanding … Read More Read More
I Am an Immigrant I Am an Immigrant By Megan Cutler | March 27, 2017 | Comments 1 comment I’m not what most people think of when they think of an immigrant. And most people have something in mind when they talk about immigrants; an idea that’s less than kind. But immigrant I am. I grew up in a small town in central Pennsylvania. At age 18, I married a Canadian and moved to … Read More Read More

First up is Kail! . . . Kail answered his phone before it had a chance to get through the first … Read More Read More
4 Recurring Dreams and How to Interpret Them 4 Recurring Dreams and How to Interpret Them By Megan Cutler | March 20, 2017 | Comments 1 comment Last night, I had one of those epic dream sequences that continued every time I woke up and fell back asleep. These dream journeys have provided me with several novel plots, so I’m not complaining. Unfortunately, last night’s dream didn’t take me to any awesome fantasy lands and it didn’t involve new or interesting characters. … Read More Read More
A Reverse Fairy Tale A Reverse Fairy Tale By Megan Cutler | March 17, 2017 | Comments 0 Comment Over on Tumblr I participate in the #writeblr community. Some have started posting spontaneous prompts and so far I’ve really enjoyed answering them. So much so that I wanted to share my responses here. These are written off the cuff, without any planning. Today’s prompt was a reverse fairy tale. . . . Rose had … Read More Read More
The Assassin’s Guild and their Dragon-Marked Master The Assassin’s Guild and their Dragon-Marked Master By Megan Cutler | March 13, 2017 | Comments 0 Comment I realize, despite previous promises, I haven’t introduced many of my worlds yet. Let’s fix that, shall we? I’ve written excerpts from several worlds drifting around in my head in the writing prompts section, and it might be nice to have a little context for them. I have rather generic names that I use to … Read More Read More
