Brooke will be teaching the workshop Adding Humor to Your Writing. Visit the workshop page to learn more.
We asked Brooke a few questions to help you get to know her better.
Do you remember a gift you received that seemed so useless and nonsensical and you didn’t know how to express your gratitude? How did you handle the situation? A friend of mine gave me a purse that doubles as a very small cooler. I don’t carry purses and knew I’d never use it. Well with two young girls I take that thing in the car everywhere with milk, water, cheese sticks and so on!
All of us have faced rejection, how do you (did you) deal with it at the time and now that you look back upon it? The worst rejection letter I got was back when you had to send self addressed stamped envelopes along with your query. The envelope returned empty with a ‘no’ written on the outside. Ouch. Eventually that book went on to win awards. So there. Haha!
Do you read for relaxation? If so, what authors do you keep close by? I looooove to read but when my girls aren’t taking my attention I’m writing for clients so there’s not much time left. I keep a book on my bathroom counter and get in a few pages when I dry my hair. Takes a while to finish a book but I can’t give up!!
