What's Burning On The Back Burner

Hi, guys! It's me Brooke here (obviously.) I know it's been a while since I've posted a blog, and that is
because blogger kept saying my loggin information was wrong. Now I have it back!
And thank goodness I do because there is no way I can tell you all the things I need to tell you,, within that short character limitation on Facebook.

So here's the News From a Hoot:
I was going to upload a vlog because I feel like you guys would take me more seriously. Considering
that I feel like most of you don't take me seriously, at all, when it comes to my writing. (Especially when I add new stories and push some the other way.)  SO....This will have to do. First off, I just want to tell you guys that you have no idea what it's like being a writer (except for few of my friends that are writers.) Writing may be my passion, my talent, and my pass time but there is something you need to know. When you're writing, you are creating an entire world, forming fictional people, events that have to follow one after another very smoothly and carefully, putting words together in the proper way. It can't just be thrown together. It has to be that way because none of the story will be believable. Writing can get extremely tricky, and frustrating at times. Why am I telling you this? Well because, I decided I'm not going to write for a little while.


Let me explain...
Writing is very time consuming and I've been busy with so many things lately, and will be busy with more things all the way till next year. I mean busy-busy. I am soooo focused on my future right now that I've been doing a lot of planning with that and setting things up with college-figuring out which one I'm going to go to. I am learning how to drive. Still trying to find a job. My mind has been very occupied lately. It weighs down the energy  I have to write. My mind and body both get tired from it. BUT to keep my writing in tune-to make sure I don't "lose it":-I will be going back to writing my Shorties (short stories that I post here on blogger.) Shorties seriously only take me about 5-15 minutes to write. The stories that we call novels take months to be done with. That is why they are on the back burner for a little while.


Its so important to me to tell you all this that I'm up at at 12:05 writing this. There was a sudden urge to tell you.

If you're all wondering what I'm doing that makes me so "busy" here it is...

1)Blackhawk is starting next week and it only goes till Dec.













2) I did mention that I'm trying to get a job














3) Driving is a biggy, which I also mentioned



















4) This is new to you all: I really want to take my creativity to Disney. So I called yesterday and went through a bunch of Disney lines. Finally, I got to the right one. Sounds like the way for me to sneak my foot through the door of working for Disney is that I have to do the 2012 Disney Internship in CA first. Which is cool...I wanted to do that before anyways!


5) -I think I'm on five- ....I got several vacations coming up.
Dec.-Platte City, MO
April 26-Myrtle Beach, SC
And all through out July (mostly) I'll be gone in  Las Vegas,NV and San Francisco, CA



So does this make me busy? I think so.
I can tell you that Cold Komodo and Impostor WILL BE finished at some time. Those are my two favorites right now. I'm not gonna let them go. You all just really need to understand (even though, I don't think you can till you become a writer yourself) that when I eliminate a book, it's not because of I'm just writing them for fun and games. I'm doing it either because its not the right story for me to write, something back fired, it's too similar to something else, or I simply can not find the time to write it. The story just is not working out. I take my writing so seriously and don't want any of you to think "Oh well, psshhh, it's just another story she's teasing us with. She isn't gonna finish it. Another day, another story...next one will eliminate the earlier one." It does not work like that. You must be a writer to really, really, really understand what another writer goes through. There is so much too it. 'Tis all I'm saying.
Don't forget to be looking out for my shorties though! ;)

Creatively Speaking,








P.S. You can find out ANYTHING you wanna know about my writing on my website. You can find the link to my website under my contact section on the info tab, on my profile...on facebook.
