Stories Should Sometimes Make Us Uncomfortable Stories Should Sometimes Make Us Uncomfortable By Megan Cutler | May 7, 2018 | Comments 0 Comment Shortly after the release of Mad Max; Fury Road, a friend of mine posted a lengthy Facebook diatribe about why she disliked it. The fact that I loved it and she didn’t has never really bothered me (I don’t believe my friends need to have the same opinions I do). But her reasons for disliking … Read More Read More
Last Chance – A Random Picture Prompt Last Chance – A Random Picture Prompt By Megan Cutler | May 4, 2018 | Comments 0 Comment Earlier this year, I decided to base several random scenes on pictures I found while browsing stock photo sites. (Indie authors spend a lot of time browsing stock photo sites). This is only my second attempt. I’m not sure it turned out as well as the first one, but I am intrigued by the concept. … Read More Read More
Never Say Never and Other Bad Advice Never Say Never and Other Bad Advice By Megan Cutler | April 30, 2018 | Comments 0 Comment I spend a lot of time reading writing advice. It’s useful to know how other writers solve certain problems; they often think of solutions I don’t. I have an entire tumblr tag of writing advice I find useful and I share its contents whenever I find a writer struggling with similar problems. But I’ve stumbled … Read More Read More
Robin is Really Smart Robin is Really Smart By Megan Cutler | April 27, 2018 | Comments 1 comment This was a random sequence that popped into my head one day and stuck around. Sometimes these are my favorite kind of scenes to write. This may not be a defining moment in Domerin’s life, nor even in Robin’s, but it is certainly one that Domerin lingers over when he thinks of his experience with … Read More Read More

Lady of the Night Lady of the Night By Megan Cutler | April 20, 2018 | Comments 0 Comment This is another of those describe your characters twice exercises. (Once to fall in love and once to be repulsed.) I did this one a little different than the last one, writing it from the character’s perspective (once where she is loved and once where she is repulsed). I’m not sure it worked as well, … Read More Read More
How To Make and Maintain a Digital Bullet Journal How To Make and Maintain a Digital Bullet Journal By Megan Cutler | April 16, 2018 | Comments 0 Comment About midway through 2017 I realized I had let my life get out of control. I worked too hard. I neglected my physical and mental health. And realizing I needed to change was only the start of the battle. Because I had no idea how to manage all the things I felt I needed to … Read More Read More
There Are Things You Can’t Escape – Part 3 There Are Things You Can’t Escape – Part 3 By Megan Cutler | April 13, 2018 | Comments 0 Comment It’s been a bit of a wait for the end of this one (sorry)! But I have finally finished it. Part 4 will follow in a few weeks, but I think this is by far my favorite piece of the story. It came to me in the shower one morning, demanding to be written, and … Read More Read More

As promised, it’s Amaterasu! I will admit, in terms of mythology, I don’t know a lot more about Japanese myths than I do about Hindu myths. But … Read More Read More
Choose – A Random Picture Prompt Choose – A Random Picture Prompt By Megan Cutler | April 6, 2018 | Comments 0 Comment Early this year, I realized I had let Domerin run rampant with a lot of these prompts (sorry about that). They were originally designed to be writing exercises, and I think a lot of them have strayed from that purpose. Which is fine, but I wanted to get back to challenging myself on that level. … Read More Read More
