If you're still looking for a writing buddy, I would be happy to be one, as I would appreciate having a writing buddy as well. I can promise to be kind and honest as well. I am actually presently on sick leave from work, for at least October, possibly longer depending, so I am available almost all the time (excepting doctor's appointments and sleep). Same goes for anyone else seeing this post! Happy to have kind/honest writing buddies, and I am readily available. :)
