Do you write in a browser or in a desktop app?

Matt Falcon @mattfalcon.com · 17/09/2026

I've built a thing. It's called Falcontext. Word count and goals, progression, writing streaks, sprint mode, synonym checker, prose analysis, focus mode, writing reminders, all in the browser. Would you be interested in something like that? (it's not live yet, waiting on Google, which takes long.)

What kind of tools do you use when writing apart from your text editor of choice?

000

Matt Falcon @mattfalcon.com · 10/09/2026

Really? Is this really necessary? You in need of some more money or something?

020

Matt Falcon @mattfalcon.com · 09/09/2026

Yes, my book has a prologue. And yes, you should read it. Here, I'll make it real easy for ya!

Selling wide as an indie author is harder, because you get to stare at countless dashboards reporting 0 🤣

I can be an asshole. I can also be funny, smart, a bit crazy, a lot crazy, supportive, angry, and even a friend. And all of that I can be on here as well. That’s how you know my writing is good. And how you know it’ll keep getting better. Want to join me on this ride?

Matt Falcon @mattfalcon.com · 02/09/2026

And another 5⭐️ review not even 24 hours later?? This one is even better, because Jasper caught a philosophy/psychology “thought experiment” that got me writing this book in the first place. Absolutely awesome and so fulfilling to see people catch stuff like this! 🔥🔥

Matt Falcon @mattfalcon.com · 01/09/2026

I HAVE ZERO SALES THIS MONTH EVEN THOUGH MY BOOK IS STILL DISCOUNTED SOMETHING MUST BE WRONG!

Matt Falcon @mattfalcon.com · 01/09/2026

This is a _great_ way to start off the new month! Just so you know, the lower price for Tethered to Darkness is still going for now. So if you're quick, you can get the ebook (or the paperback with some cool extras if you're in the US) for cheapsies!

Aaaand it’s live! Lots of cool books! Mine is available anywhere with a discount, just 2.99! And the paperback is available at a discount as well on my site. Beautiful print, awesome shipping, and a few extras if you’re in the US!

Matt Falcon @mattfalcon.com · 28/08/2026

Tomorrow the Narratess indie sale starts! So obviously my books are discounted as of now. Ebook and paperback. Find the sale that starts tomorrow here 👇 and for now you can find them on Zon, Kobo, Itch or below 👇🏻👇🏻

Typography is more important than your cover. I’m a sucker for a good illustration or something on your cover, but please think about your typography as well. So many great covers out there that miss the mark on typography, bringing the whole thing down.

Matt Falcon @mattfalcon.com · 20/08/2026

Are you a fantasy author or a real one?

120

Matt Falcon @mattfalcon.com · 19/08/2026

And just like that... the sale is done! BUT! If you're in the US, you can still grab a paperback with a discount! And this is the best printed version out there, because @SaffronAsteria printed them. They are gorgeous. To top it off, you'll get a note from me along with it!

Matt Falcon @mattfalcon.com · 18/08/2026

Can’t sleep, so might as well tell you that Tethered to Darkness is still on discount, but it won’t last much longer! The world isn’t at all what Shen has been taught all his life. His mother tells him that beyond the city walls lies the truth. Magic, dragons, epic fantasy.

Matt Falcon @mattfalcon.com · 15/08/2026

I am: an indie author ✍️ I need: more sales (every one counts!) Reason: I need proof for my family that people still want to read a book in 2026.

Matt Falcon @mattfalcon.com · 13/08/2026

People have liked my book less, because it features strong women. Well, it’s also printed in the US by a strong woman so maybe buy a paperback so you can stare at it angrily! At a discount, so a cheap stare will do!

Matt Falcon @mattfalcon.com · 13/08/2026

I’m back from holiday and I’ve decided to put everything on sale! It’s already live on my site, and will be on the other places as well! Get Tethered to Darkness now, and buy direct if you really want to support an indie author!

I unchecked the auto-renewal for KU, checked it multiple times (including 15 mins ago because my 3 months were done at 9CET) and still they auto-renewed me… Had to “cancel the renewal”. Scammy shit. Anyway, my ebook is available on Kobo (Plus) and my own site again! 🔗 in bio!

Matt Falcon @mattfalcon.com · 13/07/2026

I haven't marketed on here lately, because I just didn't want to. Now my FFS people are gonna force me to make something they can help push out into the world. And while this isn't a baby, its emergence was a long and arduous process that I for some reason want to repeat.

Matt Falcon @mattfalcon.com · 08/06/2026

It’s my birthday today, so if you’d like to make my day, you can definitely pick up a copy of my book 😉🎉 Hope you’re all having a good one!

Matt Falcon @mattfalcon.com · 28/05/2026

Soooooo... #1 in YA Epic Fantasy and YA Dark Fantasy, #3 in YA Coming of Age Fantasy. (Yes, this is in the free category, because it's currently _free_!) (Am I mad? Also yes.) But this is pretty freakin' cool, right??

000

Matt Falcon @mattfalcon.com · 27/05/2026

🫣 Free for three days?! I might have just lost it, but it’s true. Tethered to Darkness is free, for 3 days! People have said some nice things about it: 🐉 Eragon-style Dragon bonds 🤷🏻‍♂️ Believable and human ✨ Unique magic and beautiful creatures

Matt Falcon @mattfalcon.com · 20/05/2026

I heard from someone that people like to see the author behind the book. So, here I am, holding my first novel (available on KU and my site (in bye ohhh)). And yes, that is work in progress of book 2 in the background. I am trying handwriting and I am loving it.

My name is among the fallen for SPFBOXI. BUT they do say that everyone liked my book, and that is a win for me. All I want is that my work will entertain people. If I manage to do that, I’m honestly super proud. Especially with this being my debut. fantasy-faction.com/2026/spfbo-1...

I’m in Kruger Park in South Africa. Saw the entire Big 5 today, plus loads more. Here’s a picture I took that I’m pretty proud of.

“I finished the book today, and immediately came here to find if there was book 2 yet. Not yet, but, I am invested in the world that Matt has created.” - 5 stars review Need I say more? Yes. Get the ebook for half and the physical copies for less right now!

Matt Falcon @mattfalcon.com · 17/04/2026

To celebrate Indie April the ebook version of Tethered to Darkness will be 50% off on my website, and the hard copies will be on sale as well! ⚔️ Dark Epic fantasy ✨ Emotion magic 🐉 Dragons (and riding!) 🧙🏻‍♂️ Coming of age (in a refreshing way)

Okay I didn’t actually do a Narratess indie sale recap post yet because SOMEONE decided to screw over indie authors while being a criminal. So… here finally goes! I got 26 sales. 10 through amazon, 15 through itch, 1 direct. Do we count that 1 from kobo right after it ended?

000

Matt Falcon @mattfalcon.com · 13/04/2026

Just a few more hours to get Tethered to Darkness for only 1.99 from the zon, kobo, itch or my own site! Or, you know, wait until the deal is off and get it then! Both work for me 🤣

011

Matt Falcon @mattfalcon.com · 13/04/2026

Still going up and the Narratess Indie sale is still live today! Could it get to sub 100?? Tethered to Darkness for only 1.99. ⚔️ Dark Epic fantasy ✨ Emotion magic 🐉 Dragons (and riding!)

000

Matt Falcon @mattfalcon.com · 12/04/2026

Still climbing and still 1.99! Tethered to Darkness – available on the Zon and on my own site!

000

Matt Falcon @mattfalcon.com · 12/04/2026

I've not sold anything on Kobo in 2 months. Even though the 1.99 sale is live there as well. Not even sure if I'll ever get the money I made on there, because it's still below the minimum payout amount 🤣 KU is looking more and more attractive tbh...

110

Matt Falcon @mattfalcon.com · 11/04/2026

Hey look! It’s my book! Only 1.99 everywhere now!

000

Matt Falcon @mattfalcon.com · 11/04/2026

I’ve got 6 orders since this post: 1 direct, 1 itch bundle and 4 Zon. How much more can we make it?? - Epic fantasy - Emotion magic - Eragon style dragons with a (big) twist - Never been cheaper!

000

Matt Falcon @mattfalcon.com · 11/04/2026

This is live everywhere now!! BIG GEST DIS COUNT E VER! Direct is the best! ❤️❤️❤️

Matt Falcon @mattfalcon.com · 11/04/2026

I did know you could have your own domain as a handle on here, but I somehow spaced on it. Took me 30 seconds. Now my username is cool as shit 🤣 why didn’t I do this years ago?? Also TTD is on sale and on the website that is my username you can also buy discounted hard copies!!

0101

Matt Falcon @mattfalcon.com · 10/04/2026

This thing is now also live on my website, because why not. Coincidentally, my website pays me a lot more than anything else 🤣

010

Matt Falcon @mattfalcon.com · 10/04/2026

Tethered to Darkness is part of the Narratess Indie sale! And because it’s impossible to time this stuff on the Zon if you’re not exclusive there, TTD is already available for $1.99 now!!

TIL that some people pronounce Tolkien as "Tolkin", and can I just say... I am disgusted.
