Matt’s a working writer just trying to live the dream. But how do you live this writing life in a world full of regurgitated writing advice, endless grifts, hustle porn, and a double dose of daily despair? Every week Matt sits down to talk about trying to do just that. No advice. Nothing to sell. Just the confessions of a working writer trying to make it.
