I’m still waiting on my copy of ‘The Shards’ to be delivered as the place I ordered it from delayed its release for a second time. (If they do it again I’m not ruling out a pipe bomb threat.) I plan on devouring the book as soon as I get my hands on it though.
Without saying or promising too much, it’s very likely you’ll see Ellis and his work at some point in a future post.
Yes 🙌! But please don’t call your writing “content.” 🤢 “Content” is Tik tok trash that circulates for the sake of circulating, to collect clicks and likes and eyeballs. Content doesn’t equate to heart or meaning or art or understanding or wisdom.
I couldn’t agree more with your take on writing being referred to as content (the day that writers/authors are referred to as “content creators” is the day that I mentally check out once and for all).
Me referring to my writing as content in quotation marks was a jab at the quality of what is to come in future posts. “Content” = something that hasn’t so much as fallen into the gutter as it has slid threw a grate and landed in the sewer.
Nepo Baby was super gross but also great dark psychology. Are you going to write more about it? I think that this should be the last part of a horror story. I'd like to see you leave this for last and create a character who is a 13 year old privileged tyrant who moves to another town after his parents try to start over. He got away with sex crimes but don't give details, just allude to it...
I support it!

Im glad you linked the critique because I totally forgot to read it and am going to do that now.
You have my demand!
Would love to see a post on your thoughts about the new Ellis book, just finished it last night.
Thank you, Matt!

Let me know if you need a birthday cake with a file hidden in it.

Make your Substack writing more than content. 🥰

I’m not selling this thing all that well, am I?
Yes! Ok that makes sense. Ugh the word content just makes me cringe!

I think you got a great story here.
Thank you! I think I may work some more on Nepo Baby. I appreciate what you have to say on it.
I’m on the edge of my seat, but that could be my ass has trouble fitting in the chair.
This is just the type of inspiration/emotional blackmail I need to get this ‘Stack going. My thanks.
