Storyteller
Welcome to Scratch Writing. I am Matt De Reno, a storyteller in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Over the years, I have told stories about why you should use stuff (which I have heard called marketing). I have also told stories about how to use stuff (which I have heard called technical writing). My humble aspirations are to now tell you stories that might entertain you (which I have heard called science fiction).
This website serves as an overview of my professional services portfolio as well as a place where you can sample and read my science fiction stories. More so than anything, I hope this website serves as a mechanism where you and I can connect. On that note, I would love to hear from you and learn about your story.

Six burgers sizzled on the grill at Burger Empire. The cook, 21-year-old Caroline Friday, could give two flying squirts of Heinz 57 ketchup if they sizzled away to complete brown and black grease. She could care less if her life did the same too. Of course she realized that today she was in a rather despondent mood. 1989 had not turned out the way she wanted and next year—and maybe the entire new decade—promised more of the same disappointment.
