2026 sure fucking tried. Maybe '27 will be better? At least get a better fucking storyline than Venezuela wanted to secure its own oil reserves so we're going to have to do a little coup. We sure as hell have plenty of practice with it in central and South America...

A) there is no requirement that any of your characters has any sort of "arc" let alone a redemption.
B) there is also no requirement that your fiction has a plot.

Some pieces I write only for myself, channeling rage or whatever feelings I'm overwhelmed by.
Writing can be my therapy, and at those times I'm in complete control and the world cannot intrude without my permission.
Rebellion imo is denying what the world seeks to impose on us

CREATING PERSONAL MEANING IN A DARK WORLD IS HOW WE TAKE A STAND,
Matt said “finding joy in being a creative person is an act of rebellion.”

My short term dream is to get anything published in the traditional route. I'm currently focused on a short story I wrote called the Chimera, but also juggling a few novels at various stages pf the revision process.

This one is going to be hard.
One of the last things Matt asked us at Horror Writers Chat was to share a horror writing related dream.
This can be;
> an actual dream that inspired you.
> a dream you have for your writing career.
Interpret this any way you’d like.

Horror means consenting to feel uncomfortable, to question the world and yourself, to questions assumptions and to embrace the freedom to ask why.
It's also for goofy little guys getting up to mischief.
Its so much to so many, and from that it draws its greater meaning.

Hey all, it's been a while since I've been focused on editing/submitting short stories to publishers, but I had to come back in honor of Matt.
Matt carved this space from nothing, bringing his full self week after week to provide a platform and community for authors.

Thanks for attending our gathering today.
First, introduce yourself & share the horror subgenres you write.
Then, please share a happy memory you have of Matt OR a happy memory of being part of this community he started.
If the feelings are too raw right now, post a candle 🕯️

You're telling me that after dealing with the stress of three successive cancelled flights in ONE day, merely an hour after I boarded the Amtrak for a 38 hour trip cross country, the Democrats decided they no longer stand for healthcare?
