Ghostly Jams Ghostly Jams By Megan Cutler | September 14, 2018 | Comments 0 Comment I’ve done serial stories on my blog before, but I always feel like I spread them out too much. I really enjoyed writing this series in quick succession so I think I’m going to do more projects like this in the future. Without further adieu, here’s the second installment of The Light in the Bathroom … Read More Read More
Did You Know… You can drink London Fogs Iced! Did You Know… You can drink London Fogs Iced! By Megan Cutler | September 10, 2018 | Comments 0 Comment I talk about tea often enough to make it obvious I love it. One of my favorite tea concoctions is the London Fog. I learned about it when I worked at Starbucks. If you’ve never heard of it before, you’re probably blinking at your screen, maybe even reaching for google. Never fear; a London Fog … Read More Read More
Quarantine Quarantine By Megan Cutler | September 7, 2018 | Comments 0 Comment Several months ago, the characters in my RPG group undertook a mission that involved exposure to a dangerous black goo. They were unfamiliar with it, at the time, and weren’t aware of the full extent of its effects, but it did force them to cut a huge hole in one of their ships that they … Read More Read More
Characters Won’t Always Do What You Want Characters Won’t Always Do What You Want By Megan Cutler | September 3, 2018 | Comments 0 Comment Characters are fickle creatures. They’ll waltz into your stories, demand more than you ever intended to give them, and linger long after you’ve finished writing about them. Mine like to whisper extra tidbits about their lives, which I use for writing prompt responses. Characters get away with all this because they’re a critical component of … Read More Read More
The Light in the Bathroom Doesn’t Always Blink The Light in the Bathroom Doesn’t Always Blink By Megan Cutler | August 17, 2018 | Comments 3 comments The day I wrote this, I was struggling to find inspiration for these shorts. I wondered if I should stop, if I was wasting my time. I don’t honestly know how many people read these. But I also think they’re good little practice exercises and that I shouldn’t base everything I write off of how … Read More Read More
Lover’s Lament – Eternity’s Empire Chapter 14 Lover’s Lament – Eternity’s Empire Chapter 14 By Megan Cutler | August 13, 2018 | Comments 0 Comment Chapter Fourteen of Eternity’s Empire has finally arrived and, at long last, we get to talk about Aphrodite! (If you’d like to learn more about the previous guardians you can find Ganga here, Amaterasu here, and Thora over here!) When I started this project, there was no question I would include at least one god … Read More Read More
The High Cost of Living – A Random Picture Prompt The High Cost of Living – A Random Picture Prompt By Megan Cutler | August 10, 2018 | Comments 0 Comment Instead of using a random character for this one, I actually dusted off an old character I only ever used a handful of times. The picture depicts a centaur, but the character I’m using has the lower half of a deer rather than a horse. But the main point is that the picture reminded me … Read More Read More
The Dark Side of Fandom The Dark Side of Fandom By Megan Cutler | August 6, 2018 | Comments 0 Comment This past weekend (as I write this) my husband and I saw Solo: A Star Wars Story. It was always a given we would go, even though the trailers didn’t catch my attention. But we were both shocked to find that only a week after opening, it had been shoved into the smallest theater in … Read More Read More
A Night with the Master of Assassins A Night with the Master of Assassins By Megan Cutler | July 27, 2018 | Comments 0 Comment I know that, once again, the last scene technically centered around Domerin. But when the muse speaks… This scene, like some of the others I’ve written, fills a gap in a story I worked on with my writing partner. Whenever only one of us has characters ‘on screen’ we tend to skip to the next … Read More Read More
I Just Can’t Get Enough Tea I Just Can’t Get Enough Tea By Megan Cutler | July 23, 2018 | Comments 4 comments As our financial status and physical location have grown more stable, my husband and I have noticed we spend a little more money on things we used to consider pointless indulgences. Mostly drinks. Which has led to a lot of lattes, a love of cider (which could be a whole other blog post) and a … Read More Read More
