J.P. Linde
Writer

​J.P. Linde’s love of storytelling started unexpectedly when he convinced male classmates of his 6th-grade class that Elizabeth Montgomery, the star of Bewitched, was his girlfriend. Since that fateful day, J.P. Linde has worked as an actor in summer-stock productions of  Our Town, Hot L Baltimore, and The Misanthrope and, thankfully, did not appear nude during any performances of the musical Hair. He was one of the founding members of the Portland, Oregon comedy scene,  establishing the improvisational and sketch comedy group, No Prisoners, and appearing in his own one-person show, Casually Insane. He has worked as a professional stand-up comedian, making his national television debut on Showtime’s Comedy Club Network. His musical Wild Space, A Go Go, had its world premiere in Portland at The Embers in 2011.  He has written three novels. His latest,  The Last Argonaut, will be published in 2024 by Pro Se Productions. He co-wrote the horror cult classic Axe to Grind and has worked with some of the leading producers in film and television.

Coming just in time for Halloween:

"Not only is J.P. Linde's FOOL's GOLD a barn burner of a snow western adventure tale, it's also a love story. Linde clearly loves his genre, loves creating within it and loves to keep his readers on the edge of their seat."    Richard Melo (Author of Happy Talk and Jokerman 8).
Also by J.P. and available on 
Amazon!

"J.P. Linde has successfully delivered a novel that is both a loving homage to the pulp fiction genre and a hilarious satire of it. "

A Writer Must...

It’s time for another addition to J.P. Linde’s popular series: A Writer Must…
 
This is a total fabrication. There is no such series. Never has. But there sure as hell should be.
 
Today’s blog: A writer must be resilient. 
 
“Able to withstand or recover quickly from difficult situations.”
 
Gee, I don’t know. Would this include unrealistic editors? Why, yes. Yes, it would. How about broken promises and downright lies? Sure does. Okay, here’s a tough one. How about rejection, countered with a stunning creative blow? Yep. It covers all of these and many, many more.
 
I understand that some of these blows can be devastating, but I can assure you that all writers, good and bad, have all suffered from one or more. Hell, I have probably suffered more than anybody.  But I can also tell you that you will survive if you never stop believing in yourself, never stop attempting to get better, and never let harmful and toxic people sway your creative life. And, if you do this, particularly paying attention to the “never stop attempting to get better,” you will eventually arrive at some opportunity. Not promising a big one necessarily, but something will happen. I guarantee it! And if it is only proofing a sign for the neighborhood pharmacy (do they even still have these?), it is a writing job. 
 
For the past few years, I had a possible writing job that I was sure would happen. It was like a lousy marriage; the more I put into it, the less I got out. And it was my own damn fault. I kept believing in it…over and over and over again. I was finally faced with more unreturned emails. No, I don’t think an email once a month is a big deal. For whatever reason, I had enough and divorced the creative relationship. Am I sad about it? Yes. Do I feel it is the end of the world? Hell no!  Once the legal separation was complete, I solicited the interest of another person. Guaranteed outcome? Nada. But it is called being resilient. Something we must all learn to do.
 
On another note, I signed a book contract which I will work on over the next several months. Contract signed, and I have already started. Mother Superior from The Sound of Music was right. “When God closes a door, he locks it and throws the key through the nearest window.” Or something like that.
