Hello, new followers!

I'm Mattie and I'm a St. Louis-based writer. I mostly write short fiction though I've got a novel in the works. My genres of choice are dark fantasy, horror, romance, and erotic fiction—esp with gothic or folkloric elements. I love history, horror movies, and heavy metal.

Unfinished acrylic painting of a woman with big brown hair in a frilly white dress and gold horned mask with pearls draped between the horns

sorry you do have to write to be a writer. if the noun is mostly a verb, you have to do the verb to be the noun

porn is not evil.
sex is not evil.
pleasure is not evil.
kink is not evil.

none of them are things to feel shame or embarrassment about.

none of them deserve the heavy-handed censorship that they're facing.

resist oppression (even if you don't partake in what is being oppressed)

Unironically I think there should be a best animal performance Oscar. I also think Charlie the goat from The Witch should have gotten one.

“Kash Patel” is way too cool sounding of a name for a dude like Kash Patel.

I wrote 30 pages—half of them in French—in 48 hours sick as a dog with a sprained or possibly fractured wrist one finals week in undergrad and got As on both papers.

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.
You people couldn't hang with real slackers.

We are in an age of misinformation, outright lies, and absurdity proposed as hot takes. But one brave soul, paid to be the senior culture correspondent at The Economist, decided to be as dumb and wrong as possible, setting the bar so low it's a tripping hazard in hell.

I’m sure there are real people who think Springsteen is cooler than Cash (they’re wrong, of course, but wrong in a comprehensible way). But Bob Dylan? What?

Yeah, the psychiatrist I saw gave me the run down of several different options he thought would be appropriate for me a the energy boost was what made me decide to try it over the other options I was given. I’m tired of being tired all the time.

I am about to become so powerful if this works for me.

Huh, stealing pitches never would have occurred to me. What good does it do to steal a pitch if you don’t have the manuscript to go with it?
