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
Top Six Prompts from the Second Year Top Six Prompts from the Second Year By Megan Cutler | March 9, 2018 | Comments 0 Comment On the 31st of July, 2015, I posted my first ever writing prompt. It kicked off a weekly tradition of taking time to write for myself, for fun, for practice and for personal development. Since I don’t write them every week, it has taken me two and a half years to get through two years … Read More Read More
Always Waiting; A Tale of Patience Always Waiting; A Tale of Patience By Megan Cutler | October 13, 2017 | Comments 0 Comment I’ve done two rounds of Seven Deadly Sins prompts, mostly because I have such a large pool of characters to draw from. While flipping through other prompt suggestions, I happened to find a list of the Seven Heavenly Virtues (which seem to get a lot less press). In case you’ve never heard of them, they … Read More Read More

I Miss the Girl You Were I Miss the Girl You Were By Megan Cutler | July 21, 2017 | Comments 0 Comment I first encountered this prompt on Tumblr. The full prompt is: “I miss the girl you were.” “Many will. She was easier to kill.” The moment I read it, I thought of Cazella and this is the result. . . . He recognized her the moment his eyes fell on her; the woman with the … Read More Read More

The Blue Rose The Blue Rose By Megan Cutler | May 26, 2017 | Comments 0 Comment This is an old piece that I found while digging around on my hard drive (so it may be a bit rougher than usual). Several years ago (probably close to a decade now), my husband and I were coming home from dinner out on Valentine’s Day and we encountered a flower seller in the subway … Read More Read More
The Sweetness of Eden; A Tale of Lust The Sweetness of Eden; A Tale of Lust By Megan Cutler | February 24, 2017 | Comments 0 Comment No connections. That was Cazella’s rule. Favorites were fine; they kept her entertained and kept her paid. A win-win scenario. But connections could get people killed. She danced her corners like they were stages, the street lights her spotlight, the passing cars the roar of the crowd. And she took appointments at the Madame’s request. … Read More Read More
Farewell 2016 Farewell 2016 By Megan Cutler | December 19, 2016 | Comments 0 Comment Part of me can’t believe it’s time to write my Christmas Hiatus post already; the part of me that’s still back in February, fresh back from watching Deadpool, before the year got super crazy. The rest of me is ready to get off the wild ride that 2016 has been and is hoping that next … Read More Read More
I Will Lie to You I Will Lie to You By Megan Cutler | December 9, 2016 | Comments 0 Comment As the dim light of the station’s simulated dawn struck her eyes, Cazella remembered only her terror when she approached the security manager’s door. Such fear was born neither of knowing that she was surrounded by the mob, nor the fact that she was likely to become their target within the hour; both were positions … Read More Read More
