Fiction Writer IntroductionsteemCreated with Sketch.

I'll keep this short.

My name is Matt, and for the past four years I've been writing fiction full-time. For ten years, I've had a blog that covers topics from writing and story structure to math and science.

I write under three different names for marketing reasons. My books are in a variety of genres: pulp LitRPG, category romances, and literary slipstream fantasy to name a few.

The thing I like to read and write most is almost impossible to sell. I love short fiction that has sci-fi or fantasy elements and makes you think. Serialized sites reward extremely long stories (longer than a standard novel). Fantasy also rewards epic length and verbose descriptions.

That's why I've come here!

I thought I'd give short, intense, and tightly-written fiction a chance here. This seems like a medium suited for it, because people can vote for stuff they like without having to risk a large investment on a huge novel. If the experiment fails, I've lost nothing.

You can check out Part 1 and Part 2 of my newest story, Ephisas, if this sounds interesting.

Hello hilbert90! Welcome to Steemit! Hope you'll like the community here. As a start, here are 5 tips that we believe will be helpful to you:

  1. Keep your passwords safe: Unlike conventional sites, Steemit has 4 types of passwords. Each offers varying degrees of access to your account, so know where and when to use each of them. Also, make sure to keep them all safe and secure.
  2. Get Steem rewards: When writing a post, you'll have the option to choose how to receive your reward: "Default 50%/50%" or "Power Up 100%". As of this moment, choosing Default 50%/50% is the better option. But this can change over time. Check our post to know more.
  3. Upvote wisely: When upvoting, wait at least 30 minutes after the post is published to maximize your curation reward. Also, make sure not to upvote too much too fast so as not to drain your voting power.
  4. Know your Steem, Steem Dollars and Steem Power: Steem and Steem Dollars are the 2 main currencies here. Convert and power up more Steem into Steem Power so you can have higher values on your upvotes.
  5. Have Fun and Enjoy!
