Accomplished a 9.3 mile bike ride to try out my eventual work commute route. Pretty proud that I was able to do it, let alone get there and turn right back around and do the return trip.

It’s a sign you’ve been to the vet too many times in one week when the techs know your dog when he isn’t even there (and before even saying his name).

Even though I mainly post writing content here, I’m still a game developer by trade, I promise! Working at ZOS has really helped push me to be a better programmer, and I’ve been taking that into some professional development certification studies on the side to grow even further. 💪🤓

Here’s the new cover to my short horror collection - really happy with how this turned out!

I picked up a short story I never finished for a new submission I found - I think it's got a great hook and set of scenes. It's nice sometimes to come back to something and realize it's not as shit as you originally thought.

I’m not very far into it, but I just started reading ‘The Curse of the Mistwraith’ by Janny Wurts and it is so dang good already.

There’s something bizarre about a doctor telling you how influenza A and Covid have “really been popping off lately”.

Surprise, I’m working on revising a collection of my published horror stories as a free download for subscribers or those who sign up for my website newsletter! Planned to be available in PDF and ePub for easy device reading.

Here’s a rough potential version of the cover - what do you think?

There are two sides of my brain: the side that says I need to spend a lot more of my time on writing, and the side that thinks I should play more PS2-era RPGs.

This is a slow roll out, but I've got a new author website! authormatthewchristian.com It's still in progress, but go check it out, give me some feedback, read some scary fiction, and do internet things.

There's also a newsletter sign up there that might have a cool perk in the future. :)
