I recently hiked the Appalachian Trail and now I'm back in New Orleans and writing a book about it. In the meantime, I'm also reminding myself that five-month-long adventures aren't the only adventures. My goal for 2018 is to have 365 New Orleans adventures in 365 days. Join me on my quest!
This Podcast Lands You on the Moon
I haven't listened to a better podcast in...maybe ever!
Taking a Break from Justin Trudeau to Talk About Beer, Puppies and Fried Chicken!
Wahwooweewah! Nobody wants to talk about the New York Mets (who are only 3.5 games out of the wild card, by the way), but the second you mention Canadians and blackface, everyone has an opinion! But, seriously, the conversation on my personal Facebook page has been interesting. So check it out if you have a… Continue reading Taking a Break from Justin Trudeau to Talk About Beer, Puppies and Fried Chicken!
Et Tu, Justin Trudeau?
If I want you to take one thing away from this blog post, it's that Matt Haines does not support wearing blackface. In fact, nobody who works at MattHainesWrites.com (it's just me) supports wearing blackface. I've never worn blackface and I'll never wear blackface. But there's a big difference between the two halves of that… Continue reading Et Tu, Justin Trudeau?
Developing My Interviewing Chops

The Best $100 You’ll Spend This Year
I was putzing around on WordPress today and discovered there are way more blog readership statistics available to me than I originally knew. Of course, because my readership sample size is...growing...diving deeply into most of the stats isn't especially useful. (Five percent of not-a-lot-of-readers is *calculating...calculating...* not a lot of information.) Which makes the particular… Continue reading The Best $100 You’ll Spend This Year
Getting History Wrong
I wrote an article about a local landmark recently and am left wondering how much history we're getting wrong.
Luce is the Movie of the Summer…and You’re Running Out of Time to See It!
I saw a lot of movies last week, and Luce stands out!
What the Heck Do I Write About on This Thing?
The title says it all. What in the hell am I supposed to write about in this thing? I've been thinking about why I've had so much trouble blogging regularly in the past. Here are a few of the reasons I came up with: It takes time. I'm already pretty packed as it is. In… Continue reading What the Heck Do I Write About on This Thing?
How Do You Measure a Year? (At MattHainesWrites.com)
About a year ago (actually, a year minus a week ago), I successfully pitched my first article to The New Orleans Advocate. At that point (early-April 2018), I had been back from my Appalachian Trail hike for almost six months and decided I wanted to try to make a living as a writer. Back in… Continue reading How Do You Measure a Year? (At MattHainesWrites.com)
