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. Isn’t that cool? … 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
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
Robin is Really Smart Robin is Really Smart By Megan Cutler | April 27, 2018 | Comments 1 comment This was a random sequence that popped into my head one day and stuck around. Sometimes these are my favorite kind of scenes to write. This may not be a defining moment in Domerin’s life, nor even in Robin’s, but it is certainly one that Domerin lingers over when he thinks of his experience with … Read More Read More
Doing Everything Right – A Tea Tasting Adventure Doing Everything Right – A Tea Tasting Adventure By Megan Cutler | April 23, 2018 | Comments 0 Comment The David’s Tea Summer Collection I received for my birthday last year had a bonus attached to it; a coupon for 25% off tea purchases until the end of July. I’m always on the lookout for new teas and this seemed the perfect opportunity to find my next staple. Especially since I had just started … Read More Read More
Lady of the Night Lady of the Night By Megan Cutler | April 20, 2018 | Comments 0 Comment This is another of those describe your characters twice exercises. (Once to fall in love and once to be repulsed.) I did this one a little different than the last one, writing it from the character’s perspective (once where she is loved and once where she is repulsed). I’m not sure it worked as well, … Read More Read More
How To Make and Maintain a Digital Bullet Journal How To Make and Maintain a Digital Bullet Journal By Megan Cutler | April 16, 2018 | Comments 0 Comment About midway through 2017 I realized I had let my life get out of control. I worked too hard. I neglected my physical and mental health. And realizing I needed to change was only the start of the battle. Because I had no idea how to manage all the things I felt I needed to … Read More Read More
There Are Things You Can’t Escape – Part 3 There Are Things You Can’t Escape – Part 3 By Megan Cutler | April 13, 2018 | Comments 0 Comment It’s been a bit of a wait for the end of this one (sorry)! But I have finally finished it. Part 4 will follow in a few weeks, but I think this is by far my favorite piece of the story. It came to me in the shower one morning, demanding to be written, and … Read More Read More
