Servant of Death Servant of Death By Megan Cutler | July 3, 2017 | Comments 12 comments I’ve started writing more about Azmih, my lonely and mysterious Necromancer. He always seems popular when he pops up. Like Reianna, he’s a character that I keep coming back to, keep chipping away at, trying to find his final form. He has a story to tell, I’m just not sure what form it takes or … Read More Read More
A Fatal Flaw A Fatal Flaw By Megan Cutler | June 30, 2017 | Comments 0 Comment I like to write stories for my friends. At the end of last year, I wrote a tribute for a friend who was grieving a lost pet. This story was written for a member of my regular RPG group (the one which spawns all my Dark Space stories). The incident it depicts happened near the … Read More Read More
Confidence Can Be Found In Unexpected Places Confidence Can Be Found In Unexpected Places By Megan Cutler | June 26, 2017 | Comments 0 Comment A few weeks ago (as I write this, rather than as you read it), we had to file our taxes. Everyone dreads tax time, of course. Who wants to discover they owe the government money? Even if you’re getting a return, tax time is a stressful mix of gathering all the relevant information and hoping … Read More Read More
Childhood Bliss Childhood Bliss By Megan Cutler | June 23, 2017 | Comments 0 Comment A long time ago, I wrote the prologue for what I hope will one day be Rose’s story. I really liked the concept at the time so I’ve kept it squirreled away on my hard drive. You may have noticed that a little while back I went digging and found a bunch of old writing. … Read More Read More
Why I Hate the Five Star Rating System Why I Hate the Five Star Rating System By Megan Cutler | June 19, 2017 | Comments 5 comments Awhile back, my friend Beth wrote about her frustrations with the five star rating system used by most sites, including Amazon and Goodreads. Even if you use half stars, cramming your opinion into such a small numerical scale is tricky. First of all, where do you draw the line between a three and a four? … Read More Read More
The Shadow Creature’s Mark; A Tale of Pride The Shadow Creature’s Mark; A Tale of Pride By Megan Cutler | June 16, 2017 | Comments 0 Comment Here’s another character that I haven’t written about on the blog before, but one I’d love to start using again. It’s also the next installment in my second round of the Seven Deadly Sins series – Pride. . . . Trails of sparks shot from the firebird’s tail as she glided through the air, a … Read More Read More
How Parents Can Help Their Adolescent Child Cope with Anxiety How Parents Can Help Their Adolescent Child Cope with Anxiety By Megan Cutler | June 12, 2017 | Comments 0 Comment As you can probably tell, anxiety is a topic that strikes close to home for me. I’ve written several times about methods I’ve used to overcome and control my anxiety. But these were techniques I discovered later in life. A record number of children today suffer from anxiety and many of them go untreated. Today, … Read More Read More
Mourning the Monster Mourning the Monster By Megan Cutler | June 9, 2017 | Comments 2 comments This is an older scene (you can probably tell by how rough it is), another one I found while poking around on my hard drive. I wrote this for a now defunct super hero-esque role playing forum my husband used to run. There was a long run up of events before this scene, but the … Read More Read More
The Key to Destiny The Key to Destiny By Megan Cutler | June 5, 2017 | Comments 1 comment One character I haven’t talked about much is Reianna. You may have noticed a lot of my characters interact in various settings, but Reianna is always off on her own. Her story is isolated from most of my multiverse. I don’t think she’ll ever cross into any of my other worlds, and I’m not sure … Read More Read More
For a Small Fee; A Tale of Greed For a Small Fee; A Tale of Greed By Megan Cutler | June 2, 2017 | Comments 0 Comment Way in the long ago, when D&D 4th edition came out, my husband and I decided to test it out with a short one-shot. We recruited my brother-in-law and a friend of his and set up a small group. I decided to try something outside my norm and created a Paladin. According to the rule … Read More Read More
