About Matt Kressel
Matthew Kressel realized upon his Saturnian return that his right brain was being neglected.
Prior to that time he had invested most of his days writing computer programs and most of his
nights being awakened at all hours by petulant pagers in order to insert tiny bits of logic into
mindless, blinking, calculating machines so that the human race wouldn't have to stop its
endless grinding and bustle and think for a moment about where this incessant activity might be
taking them.
His right brain had sat patient all that time, sneaking in a few poems, some drawings, and a story
or two here and there. But his left brain wouldn't have it.
So one day his right brain initiated a rebellion. Matthew took up guitar playing and drawing and
writing all in the same year. His left brain didn't know what to do; it fought back with threats of
financial ruin, of insanity, of ever more late night fits where it tried to insert its tiresome logic into a
world that would not become less ineffable merely because humanity made feeble attempts to
quantize the universe into something known.
And since that time, though his left hemisphere oftentimes resists his bursts of creation, he has
published several stories, started the speculative fiction magazine, Sybil's Garage, and has
completed a novel. He also sometimes writes music, though he won't play it for you unless you
ask.
(But what about his drawings?)
Writing takes a lot of time, but if you ask nicely, he might just let you see some of his old stuff.
