"Innocence is an epidermis, shielding our nerves from pain. Upon seeing death, that skin sloughs off, a full-body degloving, & the pressure of the air around you becomes too much to bear, a searing pain that never quite stops." @MattWritesStuff https://t.co/gw8R1zpIVP

This one is terrific. Read it. Love it.

[Matt Alcorn @MattWritesStuff]

@TommyDeanWriter Oh, definitely interested in this. I've been wanting something like this for a long time.

[Matt Alcorn @MattWritesStuff]

Been a long time since I've seen an acceptance, so I was thrilled to see one from @MISTERBULLBULL today. Great lit mag with a great editor. It's probably one of the most personal and raw things I've ever written, and I'm glad it found the perfect home.

[Matt Alcorn @MattWritesStuff]

Vol. 1 was sick, Vol. 2 will be too. Consider supporting @bone_exposed, they take great care of their writers and make cool stuff so GIVE THEM YOUR MONEY RIGHT NOW OR SO HELP ME GOD I WILL FIND YOU

The trick to writing with ADHD is drugs and writing about what you're interested in! Or you could find a way to get yourself contractually obligated into something up front and wait until the last minute to go all in. There's so many ways to panic- I mean, write.

[Matt Alcorn @MattWritesStuff]

Perfection takes time, and now I have something awesome to look forward to in January!

[🇵🇸 Exposed Bone Publishing PREORDER VOL. III @bone_exposed]

It’s a hard choice, but EB is pushing back the release date for Vol. II until January.

There were a couple private-life setbacks for both of us and, unfortunately, this took time away from editing. (1/3)

[Matt Alcorn @MattWritesStuff]

Really looking forward to this one, Vol. I had some awesome pieces, can't wait to see what they've put together for Vol. II!

[🇵🇸 Exposed Bone Publishing PREORDER VOL. III @bone_exposed]

We’re starting to send contributor copy edit proofs later today��these pieces really do get better and better the more we read them. Vol. II is going to be an event!!

[🇵🇸 Exposed Bone Publishing PREORDER VOL. III @bone_exposed]

We’re happy to unveil the Vol. II cover from returning cover artist @Traumavore! Don’t ask where the bones came from.

[🇵🇸 Exposed Bone Publishing PREORDER VOL. III @bone_exposed]

As we work to start polishing Vol. II, we are also getting the Kickstarter ready to run to help us fund this issue and send us to AWP! Stay tuned for exclusive merch that may buy your ticket to the underworld.

[Matt Alcorn @MattWritesStuff]

Finally wrote a new fiction piece after months of nothing but academic writing...really need a beta reader though, I feel like it's missing something, but no clue what :(

[Matt Alcorn @MattWritesStuff]

It's so good. If you haven't read it yet, why? What are you doing? Why are you still reading this post and not actively reading this story??

[Bethany Cutkomp @bdcutkomp]

@bdcutkomp Opens Exposed Bone Vol. 1 with "Domestic Labyrinth," a surreal and magnificently written piece that I absolutely adore. Freakin' carpenter bees, man!

And props to @bone_exposed, they nailed the layout of the issue! Each piece flows into the next seamlessly!

[Bethany Cutkomp @bdcutkomp]

Was I shivering while reading “The Terror of White Walls” by @MattWritesStuff, or quaking with nerves? The ethics behind burning away cherished memories forever in order to stay warm in the present makes you wonder what you would prioritize in the moment. So anxiety-provoking!

[Matt Alcorn @MattWritesStuff]

@DMoweryWrites That is incredibly kind of you to say, and far greater praise than I probably deserve! It's been a great feeling to be part of something with so many unquestionably talented writers.

[Matt Alcorn @MattWritesStuff]

@DMoweryWrites That's exactly why I loved it so much! The diction is beautiful even in its morbidity. That's not easy to pull off, honestly I'm a bit envious!

[Matt Alcorn @MattWritesStuff]

Daniel's prose has the richness of fine dark chocolate, a perfect balance of sweet and bitter that produces a sensation readers will savor with intoxicating bliss, leaving them satisfied, but hoping for more. His story has a razor edge that will cut to the core of your being.
