Noble Responsibilities; A Tale of Chastity Noble Responsibilities; A Tale of Chastity By Megan Cutler | May 10, 2019 | Comments 0 Comment Since I’m about to wrap up my series on the Wandering Mountains, I decided it was time for a new project. When I asked my Facebook group which character they’d like to hear more about, they almost unanimously chose Rose. After my Seven Deadly Domerins series, I played around with the idea of another series … Read More Read More
Lock Picking 101 Lock Picking 101 By Megan Cutler | April 12, 2019 | Comments 0 Comment Following the trend of catching up with characters I haven’t written in awhile, it’s been absolute ages since we heard from Silkfoot! Silkfoot can be hard to write in short form because he’s usually working on plots among plots. His stories often need to be written in layers, and it’s hard to weave those layers … Read More Read More
Announcing a New Project – Once Upon a Dream Announcing a New Project – Once Upon a Dream By Megan Cutler | April 8, 2019 | Comments 1 comment In 2011, our family decided to take a Christmas trip to Belize. It was shortly before I started blogging regularly, so I’ve since written a great deal about the trip. A few weeks before the trip, an idea came to me. The timing makes it easy to date its origin (unlike some of my other … Read More Read More
A List of Goals for 2019! A List of Goals for 2019! By Megan Cutler | January 7, 2019 | Comments 2 comments 2018 was a busy and exciting year. But it pales in comparison with what I have planned for 2019. I usually use my first post of the year to look forward at my goals as well as backwards at my accomplishments. But I had so much to say about 2018, I decided to split the … Read More Read More
Characters Won’t Always Do What You Want Characters Won’t Always Do What You Want By Megan Cutler | September 3, 2018 | Comments 0 Comment Characters are fickle creatures. They’ll waltz into your stories, demand more than you ever intended to give them, and linger long after you’ve finished writing about them. Mine like to whisper extra tidbits about their lives, which I use for writing prompt responses. Characters get away with all this because they’re a critical component of … 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
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
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
Letters from Liara Letters from Liara By Megan Cutler | March 2, 2018 | Comments 0 Comment Awhile back, in response to the prompt I did the right thing, I wrote a little story about Domerin rescuing a teenage girl from a human trafficking ring, though the effort cost a fellow soldier his life. I really liked that little story. The more I thought about it, the more I thought he would … Read More Read More
A Different Battlefield A Different Battlefield By Megan Cutler | February 16, 2018 | Comments 0 Comment This is just a sweet little scene I put together to showcase the nature of Domerin, Crescent and Rose’s relationship and how they deal with people who don’t understand it. . . . Guards were a normal sight around the palace. Usually they faded into the background, forgotten or ignored, a regular piece of the … Read More Read More
