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:

Fool's Gold 

The new novel from J.P. Linde
Picture
"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. "

What’s does your writing day look like?

​1000 words? 1500? Write all morning and party all afternoon. Like Hemmingway, do you have a standing desk and write standing up? All our perfectly valid as long as you are WRITING.
 
Are you a daily devotee of Elements of Style? Do you practice Saving the Cat or do you prefer the ancient philosophy of The War of Art or Zen and the Art of Writing? Quite commendable but none of them will do you any good unless you are WRITING.
 
It is simple and been said over and over again by many writers much better than me. Do get good, you have to write gooder. No, that wasn’t it. Let me try that again. You need to write ever day. Exercise the muscle. 
 
Ian Fleming, creator of James Bond (and not Cubby Broccoli as some might suggest), was famous for writing fast and never letting the editing process slow his output down. Number one priority for him was the output of words. 
 
“I don't even pause from writing to choose the right word or to verify spelling or a fact,” he explained. “All this can be done when your book is finished.”
 
I love this quote. How many of us write and then go over thousands of times, never getting any further. Plenty of time for rewrites. Son of Ravage took a year to write and two years to edit. Why? Because that’s the way I roll.
 
Whatever your practice, do it every day. Your fiction will thank you for it.
