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
Why I Hate the Five Star Rating System Why I Hate the Five Star Rating System By Megan Cutler | June 19, 2017 | Comments 5 comments Awhile back, my friend Beth wrote about her frustrations with the five star rating system used by most sites, including Amazon and Goodreads. Even if you use half stars, cramming your opinion into such a small numerical scale is tricky. First of all, where do you draw the line between a three and a four? … 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
The Key to Destiny The Key to Destiny By Megan Cutler | June 5, 2017 | Comments 1 comment One character I haven’t talked about much is Reianna. You may have noticed a lot of my characters interact in various settings, but Reianna is always off on her own. Her story is isolated from most of my multiverse. I don’t think she’ll ever cross into any of my other worlds, and I’m not sure … 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
My Contrary Love Affair with Action Movies My Contrary Love Affair with Action Movies By Megan Cutler | May 29, 2017 | Comments 0 Comment Action movies are a dime a dozen; Hollywood pumps them out at an astonishing rate. Of all the movie genres, I find action movies to be the most formulaic. They often feature the same faces and rely on about a dozen or so plots, constantly redressed. The more explosions and gun fights you can pack … 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
Introducing Operation Child Soldier Introducing Operation Child Soldier By Megan Cutler | May 15, 2017 | Comments 0 Comment One of my favorite things about being an Indie author is getting to meet and help out fellow Indies. So I’m very pleased today to be able to host Jaci Wheeler as she unveils her novel Operation Child Soldier! Purchase Links: Amazon | Signed Paperback . Book Blurb: I was trained from birth to be … Read More Read More
