An introduction

Hi! My name is Brook, and as you will note, there is NO "E" at the end, and I HATE it when people assume that I have an "e" at the end of my name. Even my dentist. Doesn't it seem like these people with all these legal records and stuff should KNOW WHAT—
Ok. All right. Shut UP. This is a blog about my WRITING. Not my stupid "e", or lack thereof. Or the fact that my kind of tubby cat Melody just sat on the keyboard and wrote the following:
;sjknnnnnn ß∂ jcxbbh dfjZSdfghx.
Isn't that GENIUS? I should write this blog about Melody's writing, instead of mine. I can't even figure out how to do that little ß∂ thing (In case you're wondering, I copy-pasted that from Melody's composition. See: ß∂ß∂ß∂ß∂ß∂ß∂ß∂ß∂! I couldn't actually make it myself)
Yes, it's 9:13 at night and you can understand why my brain is not operating at full capacity. Right? Right? "Yes. Of course," you say. "That's perfectly normal."
But of course you don't mean it. You think I'm crazy. You think that—
Okaaay, now, back to writing. So, I am writing this story, well, actually, book, well, actually, it has 22 chapters. And this is going to be sort of a place where I can...get rid of writers block. Specifically, by writing whatever random things come to mind, which I read somewhere can help with writers block.

So the first thing I did yesterday, was, while reading over my COMPLETE STORY, had a sudden brilliant idea: Why don't I do a REWRITE? Which is where you write a completely new version of EACH CHAPTER.
(Now you are saying, "Great idea. I would do the same thing")
So now, instead of a complete story, I have...7 chapters. Admittedly, there was a reason, namely, the story was VERY BAD. I mean, people would read it and make a very astute comment when they were done, basically "Huh?". And then I would get angry mail. I would get angry mail from people who CAN'T EVEN READ, because that (okay, I'll call it this) first draft would send out Badness Rays, and even before you read it, you could tell it was going to be terrible.
Yes. So now I am in The Wonderful Land of Revision.

Anyways, here is the number one rule when reading my blog: Don't believe me when I say "This is a blog about my writing," because, let's be honest, it will be LOOSELY BASED ON THE FACT THAT I WRITE. This does NOT mean, however, that this blog will be about writing.

The second thing I have to say, is occasionally, I will put small parts of my story on here, and PLEASE, don't copy it and call it yours, or steal my character names. Believe me, not only is this bad, but it is also...(dum dum dum...)

PLAGIARISM!!!!!

According to my mother, who is a high school English teacher and therefore is knowledgeable about these things, plagiarism is punishable by the Ultimate Punishment: namely, a ZERO in the class.
But seriously, don't do it, it's just bad.

On that cheerful note, I should stop, because I'm tired, because Studies Show that Teenagers need More Sleep than Any Other Age Except Babies, and also, because the San Francisco Giants are in the eleventh inning, against the Houston Astros (aka the Dis-Astros), whom they should be soundly trouncing, but they are not, and this creates a certain amount of stress for us Giants fans (And in case you disagree with my choice of baseball team, such as you are a—yechhh—Dodgers fan, and you think that we stuffed the 2012 All-Star game ballot boxes, YES WE DID STUFF THE 2012 ALL-STAR GAME BALLOT BOXES AND WE ARE PROUD OF IT! WE HAD A PERFECT GAME, A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO! WE ARE HAPPY!).
Okay... see you next time.
Arrgh, Some Astro Named More just made a good play.
But mwahaha! Now Melky Cabrera is up! The Melkman! There remains hope!
