Buddy J. replied to the topic A Street Team? Is that what they're called? in the forum General Writing Discussions 6 years, 7 months ago
@ariella-newheart, hey there! What a beautiful name. And it’s a pleasure to meet you (truly). Your resume fits perfectly, and I simply love where you mentioned INFJ meaning ‘one who makes extroverted energy for others to use’ (paraphrased). You might say ENTJ means ‘one who utilizes any and all energy around him’… which can mean turning it and…[Read more]

Okay… Maybe before asking you to join me on an adventure, we could meet up at the Green Dragon, and have a conference. Get to know each other a little, maybe throw around some snippets and characters… maybe even pull out a little debate. And it can happen right here.
I’ll start by leaving a snippet of a another WIP (not mentioned above), and…[Read more]

Buddy J. replied to the topic Plotting/Pantsing aren't working out…what now? in the forum Plotting 6 years, 7 months ago
Hey there… It’s been a while since this topic heard from you, and I recently stumbled upon it, so I wanted to ask if you’re doing alright. How are things in the writing?
While I wait for a reply, I’ll leave something here for you. A little something to remember.
I am a panster. At least, that’s what I’m more comfortable with.…[Read more]

AH! Street team is not the right term. *smiles innocently* Hmm… I’ll need to think of something else.

Buddy J. commented on the post, Dear Christian Novelists: Cleanness Is Not Next to Godliness 6 years, 7 months ago
“Fiction writing is a dangerous business. Portraying the full human experience in all its beauty and depravity is no small task. Nor is it necessarily a clean one. But when we use the contrast between light and darkness to reveal people’s need for salvation and God’s goodness in a broken and vicious world, our stories have power.”
Ooooh, yea…[Read more]

*blinks rapidly* Wow. That was precious, and I don’t think poetry has ever gotten so close to making me cry. Thank you, dear extroverted one.

Oh… and I should add… whether you’re studying that genre or not, N.D. Wilson is a superb writer to study in general. 😉

@happyholly_c, So! I’ve not read it… but I looked it up and Amazon… and the cover art stole me immediately. I feel like I MUST read this book.

@corkybookworm, Oh! I’ve heard of that… Okay!
@happyholly_c, I would love to be able to join… but I couldn’t keep up with things, which would frustrate me beyond most anything else. BUT! I’m so glad to be helpful. I hope your study goes well. 🙂

OKAY! I’m back. And my car is running just fine. 🙂 ( @evelyn – I bought it used, so it needed some work to be done on it)
So! You’re a writer, singer, dancer, reader, movie/tv show watcher… all pretty writery things. Now, this isn’t to say those things are bad… but some people have quirks that they don’t feel fit on a writerly…[Read more]

You know you’re a writer when you come to a forum topic really late… and leave some words there anyway.

Buddy J. replied to the topic Need Help to Find Books! in the forum Story Analysis 6 years, 8 months ago
Oof… I’m sorry, I don’t believe I can help here, as those two fields are outside what I usually work in. Unless by contemporary you mean contemporarily written. To which I would point at N.D. Wilsons’s Boys of Blur, 100 Cupboards, Ashtown Burrials, Leepike Ridge, and Outlaws of Time. All of those are adventure fiction, but each…[Read more]

Thank you. 😊 I appreciate it. And yes, I do know where you are. *nods thoughtfully* Go write the other half of your speech.

Ah, yes. I understandeth. The entity is in many ways the least of helpful. And time itself… it is a strange thing. *nods* Thank you. I too hope some find me here, languishing in a pit of mud and words struggling to find shape.

@the-fledgling-artist
Hello, artist who is also a fledgling. I come to you not because you are a fledgling, but an artist… and I like your art. A lot. Currently, I’m looking for someone to help out on a project… which I shall send you an Instagram message about. Over and out. -

Hello! I only have about a minute to type this out… but I want to write at least a little here.
HI! I’m Buddy J. But maybe that goes without saying. I’m a writer, and I too like darkness to a purpose. Now I must go pick my car up from the mechanic. We’re so glad to have you!
