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
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
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
