Iron Man 3 + Writing When Emotional

Hello Internet!

I have two things I want to share today. First, I saw Iron Man 3 today with my dad. I like it better than the second one when I first saw it, although at the moment I still like the first one the best by a little bit. I just wish I hadn’t known so much about the movie ahead of time, it would have made the mystery more interesting to me. By the way, for those of you who have seen it, check out this video; it’s a real laugh: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUYW0JyzydA

On a different note, I had a bit of a scare earlier that upset me, and I actually did some writing to help calm down. Okay, the main reason was because I thought I’d write more realistic emotions while in that state, although no similar circumstances happened in my story this time. Oh well, maybe next time. I did calm down at least.

Till next time,

New Draft Finished

Hello Internet!

I thought you all might want to know that I have finished my latest draft of my short story, after I have it reviewed I’ll know if I can begin the self-publishing process.

Till next time,

Comic Writing

Hello Internet!

I’ve been looking at some of my work, and I can see how easily it could be converted to a script for a comic book. Once I’m done with “The Full Earth Race” I’ll probably try writing them. I already have Stan Lee’s “How to Write Comic Books” after all.

In other news, I have now posted every day this week like I said I would, and I’ve decided that in the future I will have time to make new posts at least once a week, but I can’t promise anything more frequent than that.

Till then,

Saved by the Comment

Hello Internet!

Yes, I’m alive. I am sorry that I haven’t posted anything for months, I guess I had given up on the blog, especially with my slow writing progress. However, something came up that changed my mind. The author of Failstate, John W. Otte, commented on my blog (see below). So you’re welcome for the review John, and thanks for saving this blog.

I’m going to be updating more regularly from now on, even if I can’t give updates on my stories I can definitely review other books or movies, or just write on other subjects. I’ve got a lot of ideas, so I won’t have that excuse. In fact, I’m going to push myself to post once a day till Friday just to prove I can.

Till then,

Goodbye Internet!

Waiting…

Hello Internet!

So, I finished Failstate either the day I posted or the day after. I won’t give any spoilers except to say it was pretty good and I am even more sure that teen romance is a bad idea.

But enough about that, you guys want updates on my book, right? Well, I have made an important discovery: self-publishing does not mean no waiting, especially when you are waiting for a friend of your mother’s to give you some pointers. So instead of just sitting around, I’m gonna get started on my next story. No, I haven’t thought of a title yet, and there’s one major plot point I’ve been trying to figure out, but other than that I have the outline in my head already. Check back for more updates on it later.

Archives and Updates

Hello Internet!

If you will direct your attention to the right hand side of the page you will see that you can now sort my posts by month. All one of them.

Also, if you were hoping for more about my upcoming book, well, sorry but it’s only been a couple of days and I have had my first day of the semester and a day at the dentist, so nothing yet. But soon, soon…

Till then,

Goodbye Internet!

Hello Internet!

Hello Internet! Wait, didn’t the title already say that?

In case you didn’t already know, my name is Matthew A. Steiner, and this is my website/blog. I am a writer and college student hoping to go into actuarial science, but this blog will focus mostly on the writing, as well as books and movies I want to comment on. I have currently finished one short story, “The Full Earth Race”, which I will be publishing as an e-book very soon. It’s science fiction, which is what most of my work will probably end up being. I’ll be sure to keep you posted.

Till next time,

Goodbye Internet!
