Who I am: More Or Less
My name is Matthew Tegge.
I was born in Wisconsin, a state known for cheese and beer. My physique thusly matches the image you might expect. Despite my deep connections with family and lifelong friends in Wisconsin, love led me to a new chapter in Canada with my wonderful fiancée, Natasha. She has three children from a previous marriage whom I have decided are now also mine, and I love them all dearly.
I've been passionate about reading and writing for as long as I can remember, always with a story idea swirling in my mind. and the dream of becoming a professional writer has been with me for as long as I could write, though I didn't always believe I could do it. Despite these doubts, I’ve learned that pursuing what truly makes me happy is worth the risk. Now I'm in my mid-30s, and am diving headfirst into this creative journey. I’m excited to share my work with the world, and I’m ready for whatever feedback comes my way—good, bad, or otherwise.
Join me as I grow my portfolio and carve into reality the dream that has, until now, lived only in fantasy.
“Don’t bend; don’t water it down; don’t try to make it logical; don’t edit your own soul according to the fashion. Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly.”
–Franz Kafka
