Unbearable Fall

If there is a big massive black hole that's going to suck us all up in the end...please do it now before my anger takes over my actions and I start acting like a freak of nature. Everytime I think something is going to work out perfectly, it doesn't! I was so anxious to get back on my schedule again this morning ( I only follow my schedule on week days) and go about my weekly walk with my dog Dino and sweat my buns off with the Wii fit. Oh, but no...I can't do that because I woke up sick!



With a throat so scratchy and soar, my nose is so stuffy that I feel like your stuffing on a Thanks Giving day sizzling on your fork. ....And then I pretend your mouth is that big massive black hole. Too bad I'm not a stuffing dinner. I had so much to do today. I even promised my mom that I would mop the floors for her! Hey....remember how the commercial says there's power in Pinesol...? If there is PLEASE HEAL ME! Now that would be "the power of Pinesol, baby!"


Now if I can try to get to better news instead of me complaining...that would be great! You'll have to excuse me if my subjects go bouncing all over the place, I'm very distracted right now.   First off, I would like to point out how thankful I am that I had a chance to go out and have fun the past two weeks before I got sick. That absolutely made things all the better. Hopefully my cold will go away before Friday. I have plans that day. A plan I promised that would happen. Another thing I promised that would happen is that I would use this awesome digitals scrap booking program my mom got for me as a gift not to long ago. It seemed fun! My laptop was being weird last night, so unfortunately, I did not get a chance to use that. (Again, big massive black hole suck me up.) One thing I DID  get to do is do some picture editing last night of a picture me and my best friend just took while I was at her house. I have been feeling so crafty, lately. I dont know why.



I think it's so cute! What do you guys think? I love Color Splash photos! 
Anyways, I have to get moving on the next subject so I can try to relax and have a cup of hot cocoa. I don't think I'll be able to work on Impostor untill I feel better. I have to have one. Hundred. Percent. Energy. And be able to focus clearly. I cant do any of that when I'm sick or grumpy. BUT one thing I can do is tell you where I got the inspiration to write Impostor! This is one of the thing I LOVE  sharing about my writings: where the inspiration comes from.  As you all know, by now, I am inspired to write by Meg Cabot. However.... my stories are inspired by something else. Meg just inspires me to never give up "on writing".  So what inspired me to write Impostor?  I was inspired to write Impostor by a series called "Allie Finkle's Rules for Girls." This series is written by Meg Cabot.



Is this book a book for kids? Yes. Now, just hold on a minute. I may not of read the series but what I did read about was how Meg got this series going, her inspiration to write it, and other stuff.  Princess Diary series (also by Meg) is another inspiration for Impostor. This book is for older audience.




Meg wrote these two series based on past experience and things that she came to knew. When I first started out writing my biggest series that I ever started, I didn't realize how many complex parts there are in it. It made it very hard to write. So, I told you all this before that I'm giving that series a brake for a while and going to work on it later. This is where Impostor started: Last November 3rd, I didn't spend time sleeping. I spent my time in bed thinking about what my new novel is going to be about. Some time at midnight, it clicked! Then the next night I spent a good half hour working on the back cover (the part that explains what the book is about.) But one thing that I realized is Meg Cabot has a brilliant idea: write from things you came to know and past experience! I can do that with Impostor! I'll know the characters, feelings, thoughts, plans, situations, etc. THAT is where Allie Finkles and Princess Dairies came in! Meg wrote those two series by fitting tiny pieces of her past life in those books!
Allie Finkle's INSPIRATION (Meg explains her inspiration at a SLEEPOVER!)
and
Princess Diaries INSPIRATION


Check out those two links to get a better grasp of what I mean if what I'm talking about isnt clear enough. One is realy cute and funny and...actually they borh are!

So now you know what got Impostor started! While the rest of you are enjoying the beautiful weahter outside and I'm stuck here drinking hot chocolate and eating hot runny foods, I'll be sitting on my couch thinking of how much this is an unbearable fall for me.

P.S. If you have any little neices, daughters, cousins, etc. and they love to read GET THEM Allie Finkle's series! I promise you they will not be able to put the book down!

I LOVE You! Yes, You!

Okay you guys,  so I had a couple of LIVE blogs the last few days. I know I didn't look very camera friendly and all but I swear you guys I do not look that hideous! For those who have not seen me in person....I'm just putting that out there. What do you guys think of my video blogs? I'm going to do a really cool one for Halloween, but, untill then, I'm doing my blogs through here. Besides, you wouldn't want me to run out of energy for that AWESOME Halloween vlog I have up my sleeve would you?
Incase some of you missed my second vlog showing my NEW ROOM here it is (I posted about in one of my earlier blogs bout a month or two ago.)



News From a Hoot: My New Room vlog/video


Anyways this blog TOTALLY is not about me its about how much I love you guys! In fact I love you all so much (in a friendly way) that It's distracting me from writing my novel tonight! So I thought writing a blog would be necessary.




I know I'm not the most innocent little angel in the world that everyone thinks I am, but.... all of a sudden these amazing people just decide to make my day! I don't know WHAT I did to get so much love from all of you but I can honestly say I appreciate all of your guys's affection.  I'm about to list some people here but DO NOT feel bad if you do not see yourself  in this blog. There are so many of you I may of lost count. This isn't the end. Why? Because that's what my Support Book is for: so I never forget anyone who makes my writing all the more spectacular and my who gives me hope and gives me a reason to keep breathing!


So I would like to send my via hug to Meg Cabot. She happens to be my hero, career idol, and favorite author in the whole entire galaxy. Meg the reason why I am sending you my via hug is because, well....for starters when you send your books out into the world, you know I'm the first person in line to get it (ok well I wish I was) and when I read your books they take me away from things that are negative in the world and suddenly everything is ok. But otherwise they are just mind blowing books. Secondly, thank you SO MUCH for fallowing me on Twitter! That made my night! Also, thank you for the time where you put me in your diary on your Official Website for carving that pumpkin I made for you, replied to me personally through regular email, for writing back to me on my wall posts I send you on face book, for putting me in your note on facebook (which your diary and note happen to be the same tittle "Awesome Naked Updates"...I think that's it) and for chasing away my fear that you would be like some of those famous people who end up being snooty in real life. Like I said, you are a sweet heart and so kind. Don't ever change Meg! ...Or quite writing!




Next up to give a via hug to is my best friend in the whole world: Kym! Why am I giving you a via hug Kym? Because, no matter how crabby I get, no matter how many times I keep bugging you to read my next chapter to see how it sounds (No you guys you can not ask her to secretly send my chapters to you. She does not have that permission and does not have the chapters to begin with), and no matter how many times I'm just a pain, annoying at times, a goof, a snob, whatever you wanna call me Kym you put up with me anyways because you're my best friend and never left my side. Plus you always do end up reading my chapters anyway. It's just whenever YOU feel like it. Thank you kym for all good times and thank you for putting up with me and thank you for reading and giving me the feedback. A via hug for you Kym!




This via hug goes to my Aunt Marilyn. Marilyn you are getting a via hug from me because I remember back when we went to a fun raiser for this girl who had breast cancer, you were giving me advice on life and writing. But truth is that's the last reason why you get a via hug but the first reason"s" are very important to me: You are the person who can light up a room when you walk in, the type of person who can keep a conversation going. You are the type of person who will go through struggles when everyone else is but you don't try to fix your own because you try to comfort everyone else. Mare-mare I dont even know how to put my answers together. The best way I can say this is, even though my characters are fictional (is that even a word) you are a role model to my characters because  they wanna be that light in the room (like you), they wanna be thier for their close ones when ever their close ones need them (like you), they wanna follow in your foot steps, Marilyn, because deep down inside they admire you and want to be just like you. They want to walk the earth knowing that they are a good person who everyone loves and does the right thing by being a good person at the end of the day. And incase you didn't notice Marilyn (I AM the characters. The author always are THE CHARACTERS or the main ones. We have to be because we have to be inside thier shoes in order to write from thier prospective.) So Marilyn, You get a very special via hug!




The next people to get a via hug.  Mrs. Rehling and Mrs. Gaurd. I'm so sorry ladies I do not have a picture of you. But I think you both know why you get a via hug from me! You both have been SUCH a humungo help with my writing and everything-the whole package deal- that comes with of helping a future author. I love you both so much and would NEVER of made it this far without any of you.  I want to acknowledge all of my books to you! All of them. But unfortunately, I can't do that becasue other people have already earned their way of being acknowledged in my books. So ladies...you know what you did to earn this via hug. I don't think I need to put anything else down, here. =]



The last via hug goes too my parents! And just like I said to the two wonderful ladies up there: You know what you did to earn and deserve this. I love you both and I would not of been this far without you guys either. Thank you for being the best parents on the planet and for giving me the support, help, and attention I need. Some parents dont even care and let thier kids go bout their business. But I am very happy you are in my business. Or...well...the business that I want you to know about. And how sad I dont have a picture of you guys. (I kno I know!!!! It's terrible!) But dad I dont think you would want me to share your picture anways! You never like having your picture taken.



Anyways guys...EVERYONE...do not freak out if you didn't see yourself. There are so many of you to list but tonight I had to post only certain people. I love ALL OF YOU and would never of been this far without ANY OF YOU GUYS! You rock my world! And here is a quote I made up for people like you (Yes I do happen to say this all the time:)
You rock harder than the Rolling Stones!

P.S.
Get ready for Halloween, because the FINEST "hoot" is vlogging your way!

A Day In The Life of BroEliMor (Brooke)

Well, well, well guys its another glorious starting of a weekend. Yes that's right, it  is going on 5:30 in the morning that Im posting this. But WHY am I posting it so early? Im posting so early because I am here to bring you good news (well for me anways.) For many years, I've been trying to accomplish a new years resolution. Ive failed and failed, and failed again. But the failing has come to an end TODAY! I have finally got it done. How long did it take me? Few years (no exact length because I forgot) and about 3 hours. This is all thanks to YOU, me with never giving up, and of course witht he help of God. Remember when I asked you to pray for me? Well it has finally been answered and I thank you to those who prayed for me a few weeks ago when asked. Bad news is, I cant tell you what I accomplished. Im so sorry! Its very personal.
Maybe in the future I will but it wont be for a long time. The good news is though, that since I have finished one of my hardest new years resolution, I can start a new life and move on (even if its not new years yet.)
I know, I know, you're probably thinking "Now Brooke what could a 19 year old possibly do in her new life?" Well I will tell you my little friends! I made a schedule that I WILL FOLLOW THROUGH ON! It took me an hour to make this schedule out so I can have it figured out.  I made this two days before I accomplished my new years resolution. HEY, I didnt know if  my N.Y.R. was gonna happen or not. But I made a schedule anyways.
So here is A Day In The Life of BroEliMor (me:)
-Get up at 8am every week day and make bed and wash my face.
-Take shower (I usually take about an hour in there)
-Eat brakefast around 9:15
-Take dog for a walk after brakefast (Usually the walk takes us about 15-25 minutes)
-Exercise inside some how around 10am(Me and my mom are looking at Tredmills today. Yaaay!)
-Write novel (Imposter) till lunch
-Eat lunch at 12:30
-Check facebook and email (half hour each NO MORE than half hour)
-Meditate (time cannot be estimated. Meditation has no time limit. Meditate till innerself is cleansed)
-Read (Insatiable by Meg Cabot) till dinner (My career idol and favorite author of all times says its very important for inspired writers to always read. READ READ READ. I feel extremely bad because I forgot the reason why she said that.)
-Eat dinner (usually around 6 or 7)
-Chores
-Free time of whatever choice (possibly more writing, possibly more reading, possibly watch Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Who knows!) till bed.
-Go to bed every week day at 10, if not 10 then 10:30 at the latest.


So there is the FABULOUS  day in the life of author BroEliMor! I am finally going to leave my hideous past behind and start a new one with an organized and healthy schedule.  But none of this wont be able to start till next week, Monday. I have a CRAZY birthday party to attend (ahem...its my sisters.) Her little friends are crazy! I think I might faint of such insanity over the weekend.
And just a couple more things guys, in case you havent noticed Im becoming more of Lilo and Stich fan than I ever was AND I think I choose to move to Hawaii over Florida anyday! Oh, and sorry there's no graphics to go with the blog this time. Im very out of it. I just got back from a flight (because I was on a vacation visiting my dad) and its PAST FIVE IN THE MORNING so excuse me for being dull with my blog!

But that it's for now,
Aloha!
