Words Unspoken – A Random Picture Prompt Words Unspoken – A Random Picture Prompt By Megan Cutler | November 2, 2018 | Comments 0 Comment As always, I had something in mind when I sat down to write this prompt. I got about three paragraphs in before the story decided it was actually completely different. It tripped me up a bit, and I worry it makes the first part a little scattered. But in the end, I’m glad I decided … Read More Read More
Awesome Portal Fantasy Novels that Spark the Imagination Awesome Portal Fantasy Novels that Spark the Imagination By Megan Cutler | October 29, 2018 | Comments 1 comment The first Portal Fantasy I ever read was Yon Ill Wind by Piers Anthony.

The General’s Twin; A Tale of Pride The General’s Twin; A Tale of Pride By Megan Cutler | October 26, 2018 | Comments 2 comments Back when I started the Seven Deadly Sins project, I joked that there were probably enough off-shoots of Domerin that I could write a prompt for each sin featuring him.

My Work is Absolutely as Valuable as Yours My Work is Absolutely as Valuable as Yours By Megan Cutler | October 22, 2018 | Comments 5 comments The biggest struggle I face as an indie author has nothing to do with inspiration or even with sales. It’s time. There’s never enough time to complete all the tasks on my to-do list.

An Imperial Daughter’s Woe – Eternity’s Empire Chapter 15 An Imperial Daughter’s Woe – Eternity’s Empire Chapter 15 By Megan Cutler | October 15, 2018 | Comments 4 comments It’s been absolutely delightful opening my writer’s notebook this year to share the developmental details of Eternity’s Empire. In case you missed it, I talked about Ganga over here, Amaterasu over here, Thora here and, finally Aphrodite here. So what’s left? Aeternitas of course! And I’m excited to finally talk about her because she’s probably … Read More Read More

I Want My Choices to Matter I Want My Choices to Matter By Megan Cutler | October 1, 2018 | Comments 0 Comment Way back when this blog was young, I wrote about my love for video game choices that actually impact the outcome of the story.
