@SaffronAsteria Never heard of it. Is it like tindr, but for writing?

[Matt @_Knight_writer]

This may surprise you, but I'm more than just a pretty face.
I'm also the author of 2 anime and old-school RPG inspired fantasy books.

Harbor freight is a great place to go to just people watch. I saw a guy today, he literally looked like a fish of some sort. Picture this with a mullet. That's who I saw today

@iseeitallways That moment when you realize most adults are just overgrown 12yr olds

It's something I still struggle with to this day. I think it stems from my elementary school days. I grew up in a small town. We didn't always get along, but at the end of the day, we cared about each other. We didn't want to see bad things happen to people, even if we didn't necessarily like them. When everything was said and done, we were still on the same team.
I've made the mistake of carrying this mentality with me throughout my life. Whether it was in sports, my latter school years, and the work place. I always would go in seeing the people around me as being like family. No, we might not be close, we may not get along, but when it hit the fan, we were ultimately on each other's side.
Instead, what I experienced was people who only cared about themselves, who were willing to use any means necessary to get what they wanted, no matter how low they had to stoop. They just looked out for themselves and their friends.
I first noticed it in sports, and it was something that quite frankly contributed to my complete disregard for sports the older I got. I'd see how the kids just wanted to have their friends on the team, even if it made the team collectively worse. They just wanted to play with their friends.
30 years later this selfish and petty attitude still goes on in the workplace.
I can't recall the number of times I've seen someone make up their mind that they didn't like someone else the instant they met, and their attitude toward that person never changed. Then came the mental gymnastics they'd play to act like they gave that person a fair shot, and they just blew it. When, in fact, they made that decision long before.
I still find myself thinking we're all in the same boat. But in reality everyone just wants to look out for themselves and play with their friends.
Happy Monday

No cheating....

What did you genuinely believe as a kid that sounds stupid now? 😀

Who's got time to write when there's strangers to argue with on the Internet?

@flashsotu89 @AdrianL24889 @John_Barach I didn't say it was a genre, I said it was a category. See below from Amazon's kindle store

@NamelessNarr Same. I can count on one hand how many times we ate McDonald's or any of those places growing up

@AdrianL24889 @John_Barach I don't know what the statistics are but I have a hard time believing that LGBT fiction is targeted to and consumed by primarily straight people.
