Do What the Witch Tells You Do What the Witch Tells You By Megan Cutler | June 8, 2018 | Comments 0 Comment This is actually a direct sequel to the scene I wrote for I Trust Your Judgement, and has been on my list for a long time. (It also technically breaks my rule about only writing one Domerin scene in five, but the last one wasn’t technically about Domerin so I went ahead and did it … Read More Read More
How to Combat Doubt When the Voices Get Loud How to Combat Doubt When the Voices Get Loud By Megan Cutler | June 4, 2018 | Comments 0 Comment I published my first book in May of 2014. I spent at least two years before that trying to turn writing into my full-time gig, learning how to put a decent story together, revising what I had written and studying how to move forward. So it’s safe to say I’ve been doing this a solid … Read More Read More
Why Is Your Father’s Arm on the Kitchen Table? Why Is Your Father’s Arm on the Kitchen Table? By Megan Cutler | June 1, 2018 | Comments 0 Comment Every now and then an idea pops into my head that strikes me as so brilliant it causes me to break my own rules. This is one such scene. I know I said I was going to tone down the amount of Domerin on this blog… but this scene just had to BE. For context, … Read More Read More
Marketing Tips I Learned from My Little Pony Marketing Tips I Learned from My Little Pony By Megan Cutler | May 28, 2018 | Comments 1 comment I’ve written before that cartoons aren’t always exclusively for kids. Sometimes adults can get a lot out of them, even if they were written for a specific age group. For example, My Little Pony; Friendship is Magic is a well-rounded family show. There’s actually a lot for adults to appreciate, if they give it half … Read More Read More

I’m pleased to report it came out exactly the way I wanted it to! . . . A thousand generations the … Read More Read More
There Are Things You Can’t Escape – Final There Are Things You Can’t Escape – Final By Megan Cutler | May 18, 2018 | Comments 0 Comment As promised, here’s the final installment of the Things You Can’t Escape story, which I started back in March of 2016. I really can’t believe it’s taken me this long to finish it, but I’m certainly glad I did. I don’t know if this story will ever end up canon in the universe it was … Read More Read More
Domerin Gets His Own Tea! Domerin Gets His Own Tea! By Megan Cutler | May 14, 2018 | Comments 0 Comment Did you know Adagio Teas allows you to make your own fandom-based blends and share them with other tea lovers? When I first found out about their site, they actually pitched it to me this way; you can make teas based on your books and characters and your fans can purchase them. Isn’t that cool? … 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
Stories Should Sometimes Make Us Uncomfortable Stories Should Sometimes Make Us Uncomfortable By Megan Cutler | May 7, 2018 | Comments 0 Comment Shortly after the release of Mad Max; Fury Road, a friend of mine posted a lengthy Facebook diatribe about why she disliked it. The fact that I loved it and she didn’t has never really bothered me (I don’t believe my friends need to have the same opinions I do). But her reasons for disliking … Read More Read More
Last Chance – A Random Picture Prompt Last Chance – A Random Picture Prompt By Megan Cutler | May 4, 2018 | Comments 0 Comment Earlier this year, I decided to base several random scenes on pictures I found while browsing stock photo sites. (Indie authors spend a lot of time browsing stock photo sites). This is only my second attempt. I’m not sure it turned out as well as the first one, but I am intrigued by the concept. … Read More Read More
