Greetings,
humans, half-breeds, and everything in between. This week I had the pleasure to
interview my new friend, Justin Bruytens, an aspiring
writer and fresh young blogger. A good time was truly had by all, and here’s
how it went down.
Hi there, Justin! It’s so awesome to have you here at the ECS Universe. Don’t
worry about the darkness, your eyes will adjust. Let’s get started.
So who is Justin Bruytens?
I
am a young aspiring writer. In order to improve my writing skills, and to
encourage myself to write more, I decided to make a blog, so I guess I am a
blogger as well. I am generally weird, open minded, and calm, even when
aggravated. As for what I prefer to write about… well I write about many things
on my blog, but in my stories I so far just stick to fantasy/fiction.
I’m a big fan of fantasy and
fiction as well, though I realize those are both broad terms. It’s that you
know what you like. I’m sure it helps when you’re writing.
So whacha got for me today?
School,
practicing guitar, writing, and my blog take up a lot of my time, which
together normally result in me being way too tired. As a result of this I sleep
A LOT on the weekends; also most of my writing is done on the weekends. The
only other thing I can think to add is writing is my favorite thing to do,
playing/practicing guitar comes second, and I love going to concerts and
listening to loud music.
As a writer I figured writing would be you
favorite activity, but it’s pretty cool that you play guitar and like music.
Where did the inspiration come to
start your project?
Many
different things contributed to my decision to start my website, where I do my
blog and reviews. Exposure and practice were the two major factors.
I hear that. I fought the need to start a blog
for the longest time, but I think I’m getting the hang of it.
What is best and worst thing or
experience about blogging, in your opinion?
Aren’t
really many bad things that I can think of about blogging, only thing that is
kind of annoying is thinking of a topic, but often times I will discover a
topic while living my everyday life.
That’s a cool way to look at it. I still have
trouble coming up with topics to write about. I guess that’s why I like doing
interviews….
Do you ever blog about your
stories or works in progress?
I do and plan to continue to do so, but I don't do
it to such a degree that I force feed my work down all the readers that I have,
at least not to my knowledge.
Any comments on blog comments?
I
LOVE comments and I LOVE feedback… Of course only compliments and constructive,
comments saying “You are terrible” Are really just a waste of everyone’s time,
if you don’t like something avoid it… Also, so far they are hard to come by for
me, I assume because not that many people look at my blog.
That may have something to do with it, but I
don’t think that’s all of it. I have to admit that I often don’t leave
comments, though I am getting better about it.
Who’s brain are you just itching
to scratch?
Controversy is definitely something that
Marilyn Manson exudes. I can see how a young man like you can relate to or find
inspiration in him, but don’t get too caught up in “worshiping” him. He’s just
a guy like you… Lift yourself up some J
Now this where the questions get
a little kooky; are you ready?
Brah,
yes!
Alright then, here we go.
Who is so you and why?
There
isn’t really anyone I have been compared to as a result of looking like, or
being like. But I was called Justin Bieber for a decent amount of time,
only as a result of my initials being J. B.
Isn’t it funny the connections people make
sometimes? I would never have thought to make
that connection myself.
What’s makes you chill?
What
always relieves stress for me is listening to music, to be more specific
listening to faster paced more “aggressive” music.
My husband used to listen to a lot of what he
calls “angry young man music” whenever he wanted to blow off steam. I guess it
must really work. He’s always been such a laid back guy….
Any thoughts on techno (just
wondering)?
Yes actually I think it can be pretty cool
depending on what group, and what sub genre of it... I especially like just
laying down and listening to it, while really only doing one other thing at the
same time. Thinking.
If you could only watch one movie
for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Would like to give a short 100
word or less review of this film Justin?
I rather not simply because I find it challenging
to summarize independent movies...
No
worries Justin, I have trouble reviewing just about anything.
What makes you geek out?
Video
games because I had a very nerdy phase and I know far too much about them. I
also have a strong opinion on what makes a video game good.
Video games are here to stay for anyone out
there who doesn’t like them. Being a writer, I can see why you’d like video
games. They are so creative. I think it’s cool that you like video games… I
like comic books.
So what’s testing your patience
right now?

Game of Thrones season 3, it has a release date, but still… it’s just such an
amazing series, and is even based on some really good books.
I’ve read book one, but haven’t seen the
series. I think I’ll wait to watch it all in one sitting. I’ve heard lots of
people going gaga over this show.
When the soundtrack of your life
is playing in your head, what songs express your glee and what songs bring out
your rage?
What’s the most fun experience
you’ve ever had?
Isn’t
really one that stands out. Whenever I travel I have a lot of fun, so probably
one of my trips to Europe, or maybe the cruise I took to Greece, Turkey, and Egypt.
Wow, how did we get this far into the
interview and are just now learning that you are a world traveler? I think
that’s great. I can only imagine and agree that traveling to these places would
be a lot of fun.
Ok, humans, half-breeds, and
everything in between, that’s all for today. For more from Justin Bruytens,
