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
Marketing Tips I Learned from My Little Pony Marketing Tips I Learned from My Little Pony By Megan Cutler | May 28, 2018 | Comments 1 comment I’ve written before that cartoons aren’t always exclusively for kids. Sometimes adults can get a lot out of them, even if they were written for a specific age group. For example, My Little Pony; Friendship is Magic is a well-rounded family show. There’s actually a lot for adults to appreciate, if they give it half … Read More Read More

I’m pleased to report it came out exactly the way I wanted it to! . . . A thousand generations the … Read More Read More
Our Journey from Boxed Meals to Healthy Cooking Our Journey from Boxed Meals to Healthy Cooking By Megan Cutler | May 21, 2018 | Comments 2 comments I first wrote about our cooking journey back in 2012, shortly after it started. Then promptly forgot about it. A lot has happened in the six years since, and our cooking routine has become so regular it never occurred to me to write an update. Until a friend drew this post to my attention again … Read More Read More

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
Domerin Gets His Own Tea! Domerin Gets His Own Tea! By Megan Cutler | May 14, 2018 | Comments 0 Comment Did you know Adagio Teas allows you to make your own fandom-based blends and share them with other tea lovers? When I first found out about their site, they actually pitched it to me this way; you can make teas based on your books and characters and your fans can purchase them.

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
Stories Should Sometimes Make Us Uncomfortable Stories Should Sometimes Make Us Uncomfortable By Megan Cutler | May 7, 2018 | Comments 0 Comment Shortly after the release of Mad Max; Fury Road, a friend of mine posted a lengthy Facebook diatribe about why she disliked it. The fact that I loved it and she didn’t has never really bothered me (I don’t believe my friends need to have the same opinions I do). But her reasons for disliking … 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
Never Say Never and Other Bad Advice Never Say Never and Other Bad Advice By Megan Cutler | April 30, 2018 | Comments 0 Comment I spend a lot of time reading writing advice. It’s useful to know how other writers solve certain problems; they often think of solutions I don’t. I have an entire tumblr tag of writing advice I find useful and I share its contents whenever I find a writer struggling with similar problems. But I’ve stumbled … Read More Read More
