The Rebel’s Council; A Tale of Wrath The Rebel’s Council; A Tale of Wrath By Megan Cutler | October 12, 2018 | Comments 5 comments Back when I started the Seven Deadly Sins project, I joked that there were probably enough off-shoots of Domerin that I could write a prompt for each sin featuring him.

That was before the Mass Effect 3 debacle where the entire outcome of three games worth of story came down to the single press of a button. It was also before … Read More Read More
The Oracle’s Disk – A Random Picture Prompt The Oracle’s Disk – A Random Picture Prompt By Megan Cutler | September 28, 2018 | Comments 4 comments I’m starting to feel like I’m writing my own personal twilight zone collection. I didn’t set out to do that, but I do dig how these random picture prompts have turned out. . . . Mothers like to tell stories. While Bethany was growing up, she clung to one in particular. It hadn’t come up … Read More Read More
Make Line Editing Easy – A Helpful Guide for Indies Make Line Editing Easy – A Helpful Guide for Indies By Megan Cutler | September 24, 2018 | Comments 3 comments The top piece of feedback I note in reviews of self-published fiction is lack of proper editing. We’re talking about line edits here; basic spelling, grammar and structure. This tends to be the first thing most readers notice, because it breaks up the flow and makes the story difficult to read. A high number of … Read More Read More

Quarantine Quarantine By Megan Cutler | September 7, 2018 | Comments 0 Comment Several months ago, the characters in my RPG group undertook a mission that involved exposure to a dangerous black goo. They were unfamiliar with it, at the time, and weren’t aware of the full extent of its effects, but it did force them to cut a huge hole in one of their ships that they … 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 1 comment Characters are fickle creatures.
