I'm "Addressing' It

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!
Physically I'm pooped. Mentally, I'm hyper. This blog post has more energy than I do right now!
Let me start out by saying this blog post will be addressing me moving out of state and my writing. So, pretty much things in the not so far future.

So, I just recently got back from Arizona. Boy, let me tell you! Going back there for the fourth or fifth time (I don't really know the actual number of times I've been for vacation) was a blow! It definitely gave me a second thought about moving there. I still think it looks pretty with the palm trees and mountains, and how the brown makes the plantation pops out with colors, BUT hearing things about Arizona from my relatives...I'm definitely looking into another area to move into.

(My very first sand storm/haboob.)


What I heard:
1. Bad things happen there (high crime)
Car jackers, robbery, killing
2. People get fed up with the heat.
3.It's very expensive to live out there, because they are in a dessert. That makes all the difference.
4. Because of the heat, they have to keep their windows closed most of the time until they hit winter. Now knowing me, I HAVE TO HAVE sunlight in my house. I just can't have the shades closed. It depresses me.

Guess what...

I'M NOT GOING TO MOVE THERE ANY MORE.

"Where's my next choice", you ask!

Hollywood!
Be quiet! I know it's a bit pricey to live there. So zip it! In fact, here is something you oughta know about me: I'm a girl with big dreams, high expectations (only for myself though,) and an expensive taste. 
Alright?!? *Pats your head*




Good! Moving on....

So WHY Hollywood?

1.I MUST move to a place with palm trees.
2.I MUST move to a place with a great view. (I've always loved the sight of the Hollywood on that mountainous hill.)
3. I MUST move to place with many things do. 
4.In case if you forgotten, I'm going to college for film business. I love the films. Hollywood is the heart of entertainment for films, tv, and music. How could I NOT consider moving to Hollywood. 
5. I'd fit in. 




THAT'S why!

So now that we know, Id like to address writing.

I think instead of just mainly writing epic fantasies, I'll be starting to write dramatic chick-lit's (woman literate.) I Will-Not be combining the two together.



This has to do with my mindset. My fantasy stories can be extremely dark and can end up being depressing at times. NOT THE WHOLE THING, just at certain parts. I need real life spunk in my creative juice. The glitz, glamour, and gossip is what I'm talking about. I believe this will make me feel better, because even writing and thinking, and plotting my fantasy stories it's ALWAYS so rough, so un-peaceful, because of the violence, and malice, and twisted characters. Basically what I'm telling you all is I'll be adding a new genera to the menu. ^-^

Fostering

I think I'm gradually figuring it out. I used to think I had it ALL figured out, for myself I mean. When some people told me I would change my mind about my future, I never believed them. Things have been changing, but they're changing in a good way and for the best.

Remember when I said that I wanted to inspire and motivate the younger generation? Well I thought of a few ways I could be doing that....different ways to accommodate.

1-Most of you already know that I'll be writing my fiction novels. With my fiction novels, I always convey a very important message and usually have the characters always stand up for what they believe in, and try to be the best person they can be.

2- Film business will be becoming part of my life at some time. From the international movement of mine, called "Wagon Of Hope", which is based off of my inspirational true book "That Happy Someone",  I will be making a film of these two taking teens who have joined this movement and changed their life through this. Majority of the people watch movies, more than they  read. I'm hoping that these teens will tell other teens that it does get better by showing it through the film.

3- I have been thinking about kids for a while now. Don't freak out! I'm not planning on having any for a while. But I'm not sure if I want to be a "full time" parent. So being a foster parent is something I'll definitely consider. While the kids home is being taken care of for whatever mater, I can be a role model to the kid, and hopefully, for the time being while he or she is there, inspire and make a positive influence on them. Plus, I think it would be great for me to be a foster parent because it's just what I'm looking for: I don't have to do the whole raising a kid FOR LIFE thing . I just want to influence younger people.

 "Say Brooke, why don't you be a teacher?"

"No, because I can't stand school, paper work, homework, and I don't like teaching! Just want to inspire and motivate! There is a difference".

I think being a foster parent will be a really rewarding thing for me, despite the negatives of being a foster parent (having property damage, theft in your home, disapproval of friends and family, frustrating when you realize lack of immediate influence, feelings of inferiority when your child does not mature, dealing with anger released at you, Wanton disregard towards you.) But being an adult and an understanding person, it does not effect me....because they're kids who are going through a rough time. It's not easy being away from home at a young age. 
(Me & Sky)

To get an early start on how to handle kids, I will be applying for a baby sitting or nanny job on care.com, when I come back from my vacation. When college starts up, I will cancel my services, because I will be way out of town and focusing on school.
(Me & Aaliyah)

After college, I plan on moving out of state and think about helping out friends, neighbors, and family with their little ones, until I am ready to become a foster parent. Honestly, I believe I can pull through this and achieve it!
