The Dark Side of Fandom The Dark Side of Fandom By Megan Cutler | August 6, 2018 | Comments 0 Comment This past weekend (as I write this) my husband and I saw Solo: A Star Wars Story. It was always a given we would go, even though the trailers didn’t catch my attention. But we were both shocked to find that only a week after opening, it had been shoved into the smallest theater in … 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
I Just Can’t Get Enough Tea I Just Can’t Get Enough Tea By Megan Cutler | July 23, 2018 | Comments 4 comments As our financial status and physical location have grown more stable, my husband and I have noticed we spend a little more money on things we used to consider pointless indulgences. Mostly drinks. Which has led to a lot of lattes, a love of cider (which could be a whole other blog post) and a … 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
How To Stave Off Burnout When You Write Full-Time How To Stave Off Burnout When You Write Full-Time By Megan Cutler | July 2, 2018 | Comments 2 comments A fellow writeblr on tumblr recently asked me: I’ve always wondered what it would be like to be a full time author, but then I worry that I’d get burned out and it wouldn’t be fun anymore. Is that something you’ve ever experienced? While I contemplated my answer, I realized I have a lot to … 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
Leaving a Legacy in the Digital Age Leaving a Legacy in the Digital Age By Megan Cutler | June 18, 2018 | Comments 0 Comment On May 24th the Internet mourned the passing of John “TotalBiscuit” Bain, a prominent game critic, e-sports caster and Youtuber who spent the last four years fighting cancer. On May 28th, the pillars of his podcast gathered to memorialize him, and after listening to their heartfelt memories, I decided to write this post. I never … 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
Trickster’s Exile – Eternity’s Empire Chapter 13 Trickster’s Exile – Eternity’s Empire Chapter 13 By Megan Cutler | June 11, 2018 | Comments 0 Comment This month’s chapter of Eternity’s Empire is all about Thora, the goddess of thunder! As with chapters eleven and twelve, I thought I would offer a peek at my notes to get you pumped for her story! In terms of mythologies I wanted to include in Eternity’s Empire, Norse is one of the ones I … 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
