Top Six Prompts from the First Year Top Six Prompts from the First Year By Megan Cutler | July 10, 2017 | Comments 0 Comment On the thirty-first 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. Today I wrote prompt number ninety – hard to believe I’ve done that many! I’ve had a lot of fun responding … Read More Read More
Blood for the Dead Blood for the Dead By Megan Cutler | July 7, 2017 | Comments 0 Comment As I mentioned in my blog post on Monday, where I introduced Azmih and explained some of his history, I wrote this story for a class I took in college. The only requirements for the story was that it be less than ten pages and that it say something about the human condition. My teacher … 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
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
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
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
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
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
Very Few Are Left (Revisited) Very Few Are Left (Revisited) By Megan Cutler | May 19, 2017 | Comments 3 comments A while back I decided to re-do a prompt with the same character in the same universe, but at a different part of their life. As usual, Domerin had a lot to offer. But I thought his idea was rather cheaty – since it actually involved a different version of himself (even if he does … Read More Read More
Icebound Isle Icebound Isle By Megan Cutler | May 12, 2017 | Comments 0 Comment I returned to my first world, dismayed to find it dying. Everything I built remained; the high tower, the markers, the secret place. Winter claimed the rest. Rolling green hills shrouded in snow. Warm, sandy beaches became mud traps. Withered trees shuddered in violent winds, shriveled branches reaching for the sky with no leaves to … Read More Read More
