Hi, My name’s Matt. I’ve loved writing since I was about four years old. They say writing is like a muscle- you’ve got to keep exercising it to make it work. I’m hoping this website will help that muscle to grow. I try to fill my life with as much dumb, ridiculous escapades as possible- partly because life is short, and partly to inspire my writing. I look forward to reading your work- please read mine! My work is here for two reasons: for feedback, and to back up my online blog. (powerisastateofmind.blogspot.com)I have recently been published on Flash Fire 500, BadHap, Gemini, The Manchester Evening News and Writer’s Bloc.
For the record, I AM BRITISH. And I spell my words accordingly, such as “colour”. I end some verbs with the suffix…

Journal, Diary, & Blogging / A Glimpse of Huddersfield
Version 1

A Glimpse of Huddersfield ‘Exterminate all rational thought. That is the conclusion I have come to.’ -Bill Lee (Peter Weller), Naked Lunch Oh God, here we go again. I’m not doing myself any favours, but fuck it. This shit has to be documented.   Only the nicest of taxi drivers allows you to hoover up coke in his van while he canes it through twenty miles of rural Britain. Destination: Huddersfield, population 146, 234. Mission: to get absolutely twisted for Hicks&rsq...

INT. ROYAL APARTMENTS- DAY Tom shuts the door and locks it. He presses his back against the door and sighs, nervously. There’s no one in. Dave and Tony are probably on the bar. Tom switches the TV on. It’s an amateur pirate broadcast, probably made by students- a studio programme with dodgy lighting. Two people are being interviewed in front of an audience. Tom puts the Tracksuit top in a bin liner from under the sink. He pours some Jack Daniels and ice into a glass and sits, sipp...

INT. BEDROOM-DAY Tom’s phone is ringing. Tom has been put to bed with all his clothes on, and there’s oil and dust all over the sheets. He recognises the Dr Dre theme and jolts, disorientated. Takes his suit off quickly and kicks it to the other side of the room, disgusted in what he has done while wearing it. He winces- the bruise from the bullet on his chest is still bad. Tom hesitantly picks the phone up.   DEVANT Mr. Charnock?   In shock, Tom throws the phone away, l...

INT. ROYAL APARTMENTS- DAY. TOM knocks on the door. TONY opens; looks Tom up and down. Tom is covered in dust, oil, blood and sweat. Tony nods him inside. DAVE leans on a kitchen cabinet at the other side of the flat, drying a very dangerous- looking steak knife. A few other utensils are drip-drying. Dave is sporting the shiner that Tom gave him.   DAVE I read in Arena that as soon as you finish washing a steak knife… You’ve gotta dry it there and then. The moment you let it...

EXT. MCD’S- DAY- NO SOUND   People are walking into the restaurant. Behind the window teenagers eat. FLASH- a BLINDING WHITE LIGHT appears inside, then smoke fills the glass. After a beat, teenage sized hands start to slap the glass, leaving bloody handprints. The slapping gets harder, then-   INT. CAR- DAY TOM jolts. He’s been dreaming, but now he’s awake: back in his original and very real nightmare.   CALLUM Almost there lad.   CALLUM has driven to som...

Humor/Satire / The Sandwich
by snarfus
'“Good lord, woman!'- I think this should be your first line. Tell us the rest after it. This is more grabbing. 'devilish deli dish!”'- Good. Poetic. 'fit of pique'- Why use this twice? Kind of an obscure word (I had to look it up) but it fits the style of the character's voice. 'foil enwrapped'- why not 'foil-wrapped'? It would be more consice. Dave is a dramatic man, but I don't think your descriptions need to be equally dramatic. Thoughts could be italicised. Good story. I like the idea th...

Flash Fiction / I'm Gonna Need You to Come In on Saturday
by ladlamlag
'Okay, breath.'- This looks like a typo- did you mean 'Okay, breathe.'? If not, can you elaborate on that part? Is there some kind of metaphor with the credit card machine? 'Wipe' and 'swipe' came to mind as I read it, I don't know. I'm assuming there's some kind of punch-line that I'm not getting. Other than that, it's all very concise. Good grammar etc.
