By Megan Cutler | April 12, 2021 | Comments 1 comment When I released the fifth book in the Eternity’s Empire series, I realized the series was getting quite long. And the longer a series is, the harder it is to keep track of whether or not you’ve read the books.

What Watching Yuri on Ice Taught Me What Watching Yuri on Ice Taught Me By Megan Cutler | March 2, 2020 | Comments 2 comments I don’t watch a lot of anime anymore. I often scroll through Crunchyroll, looking for series I’d like to try. But I rarely stick with them long. Time is a big part of the problem. I don’t have a lot of time to watch long series anymore. But I’m also looking for depth of storytelling. … Read More Read More

Don’t Allow Fear to Influence Your Story Don’t Allow Fear to Influence Your Story By Megan Cutler | December 11, 2017 | Comments 0 Comment I’ve noticed a disturbing trend among video game plots lately. Writers start down a path, digging their fingers into the dirt and grime of untouched territory, only to pull back at the last moment.

Instead of parading a group of prospects in front of you, the person … Read More Read More

I would put it on endless repeat, if I could. We went to see it twice, which is something my husband and I rarely do. But we loved the original Mad Max, and we loved Road Warrior even more (you … Read More Read More
