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
The Chosen One The Chosen One By Megan Cutler | July 6, 2018 | Comments 1 comment This was another one of those scenes that popped into my head and demanded to be written in short order. This time it was inspired by a song, specifically Lightning Crashes by Live. If you’re familiar with the song, you’ll probably be able to pick out the elements it inspired. (And yes, I did listen … Read More Read More
She is Known She is Known By Megan Cutler | June 22, 2018 | Comments 0 Comment This is my final (for now) attempt at a describe your character twice (once to fall in love and once to be repelled). I went back to writing from a different character’s perspective because I thought it worked better. I actually think this might be the weakest of the three (odd since you’d think I’d … Read More Read More
The Kantis Legend – 200 Word Tuesday The Kantis Legend – 200 Word Tuesday By Megan Cutler | June 15, 2018 | Comments 0 Comment This week, I’m sharing a little something different. (I know, I know, I’m sharing something that says 200 Tuesday on a Friday, how bizarre!) Every Friday I participate in a hashtag game on Twitter known as Friday Phrases. Every week the lovely MusaeMosaic posts a theme and everyone submits a bit of microfiction that fits … Read More Read More
Do What the Witch Tells You Do What the Witch Tells You By Megan Cutler | June 8, 2018 | Comments 0 Comment This is actually a direct sequel to the scene I wrote for I Trust Your Judgement, and has been on my list for a long time. (It also technically breaks my rule about only writing one Domerin scene in five, but the last one wasn’t technically about Domerin so I went ahead and did it … Read More Read More
Why Is Your Father’s Arm on the Kitchen Table? Why Is Your Father’s Arm on the Kitchen Table? By Megan Cutler | June 1, 2018 | Comments 0 Comment Every now and then an idea pops into my head that strikes me as so brilliant it causes me to break my own rules. This is one such scene. I know I said I was going to tone down the amount of Domerin on this blog… but this scene just had to BE. For context, … Read More Read More
Frozen – A Random Picture Prompt Frozen – A Random Picture Prompt By Megan Cutler | May 25, 2018 | Comments 0 Comment This was actually the first picture I found to use for these random picture prompts, but I waited a little while to write it because I wanted to develop the idea a little bit. I’m pleased to report it came out exactly the way I wanted it to! . . . A thousand generations the … Read More Read More
There Are Things You Can’t Escape – Final There Are Things You Can’t Escape – Final By Megan Cutler | May 18, 2018 | Comments 0 Comment As promised, here’s the final installment of the Things You Can’t Escape story, which I started back in March of 2016. I really can’t believe it’s taken me this long to finish it, but I’m certainly glad I did. I don’t know if this story will ever end up canon in the universe it was … Read More Read More
Who Should I Be Today? Who Should I Be Today? By Megan Cutler | May 11, 2018 | Comments 0 Comment This is something of a call-back to the first prompt I ever wrote (which starts with the same line). I thought it would make an interesting juxtaposition since Cazella and Silkfoot achieve basically the same thing via two drastically different methods. Cazella makes herself into the person she thinks others want her to be by … 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
