Brooke London - Blogging for the Not-Faint-of-Heart: November 2011
http://brookelondonromance.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 8, 2011. Every day I count wasted in which there has been no dancing Nietzsche. I've been coming to a single conclusion for the past while. Life is too short. Life is too short to hold grudges. Life is too short to let your last words be harsh ones. Life is too short to waste your breath on dead causes. Life is too short not to go for what you want. Life is too short for bitterness. Life is too short for hate. Life is too short for unending anger. Life is too short for regrets. BlogNetw...

Brooke London - Blogging for the Not-Faint-of-Heart: February 2012

Saturday, February 18, 2012. Why do you write strong female characters? Because you're still asking me that question." Joss Whedon. The title of this post is a great question and answer about women and how women are perceived. It comes from an image posted on Facebook and I love it! No one ever asks a writer why they write strong male characters, so why ask "why" about strong female characters? Women aren't strong enough? Joss Whedon is a wise man ahead of his time.

Sunday, February 13, 2011. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. It was the worst of times… it’s been quoted so many times that I don’t think anyone really pays any attention to the words anymore. But listen again… it was the. It was the worst of times. It’s still true after one hundred and fifty years or so. People have wonky memories when it comes to good times and bad times. In truth, the good times were probably. Worse than you remember. Yes, some things are. And it may very well be ye...

Brooke London - Blogging for the Not-Faint-of-Heart: September 2010
http://brookelondonromance.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 17, 2010. So how on earth has this anomaly happened? Is this not an anathema to womanhood? The inability to flirt. If I were to go out with friends to a bar and if one of my friends said that a man kept looking at me, and that I should go over and flirt with him, I would not have the first clue as to what to do or say or anything. I mean, yes, I have read the steps of intimacy and there are 12 of them:. Raised eyebrows—unconscious sign of interest on flirter’s part. Light touches—...

Author of "Histerotical" Romance, featuring A Kinky Twist on History! Wednesday, July 23, 2014. My Stab at Reviewing. In an effort to keep this blog from fading into obscurity, I may have mentioned some things I am planning to do with it. I have some author interviews coming up and thought I'd also start including reviews for books I've recently read. So to start off, I've got a few books I'm going to talk about. So, go read some of these books. I guarantee you will not be disappointed. Yes, I know, an o...

Brooke London - Blogging for the Not-Faint-of-Heart: January 2011
http://brookelondonromance.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 1, 2011. Some New Year Thoughts :). A new year has come around again. New challenges, new people, new experiences, new stuff all around. But is it really? People hope that the new year will be better than the last year but they still carry around something that is not new: themselves. Their hopes. Their joys. And their sorrows. Someone said the definition of insanity is to do the same thing over and over again while expecting a different result. So by this particular definition, I t...

Brooke London - Blogging for the Not-Faint-of-Heart: It Goes Both Ways
http://brookelondonromance.blogspot.com/2011/06/it-goes-both-ways.html
Thursday, June 16, 2011. It Goes Both Ways. For the writers amongst you, I have a question. Do you ever pick up bad language or attitudes from your characters? As nuts as it sounds, I do. When I get toward the end of a book, heading towards and through the black moment and climax, my characters swear. A lot. And it's not "fudge-buckets" or "sugar.". No Necessary for writing? For me, yes. I don't and I'm betting you don't either. Is this a tortured part of my psyche screaming to get out? Makes you angry a...

Brooke London - Blogging for the Not-Faint-of-Heart: October 2010
http://brookelondonromance.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 6, 2010. Recently, I started patronizing a Second Cup (like Starbucks) near my home because I like the coffee drinks more there. Most of the time, I get the same barista. I always ask her how she’s doing and her answer is always, “Fab-u-lous! And isn’t it nice to have someone walk away from you with a smile on their face? Such a simple thing makes a big difference. So, I have this opportunity to re-create my life better than it was before. Like the Six Million Dollar Man but withou...

Gianna Simone: How Music Motivates Me
http://giannasimone.blogspot.com/2015/07/how-music.html
Author of "Histerotical" Romance, featuring A Kinky Twist on History! Thursday, July 30, 2015. How Music Motivates Me. Settle in and have your drink of choice at hand – this is going to be a long one. One of the biggest effects my love of music has had is to inspire me to strive to capture the emotion in a way that often has less than 200 words. I've always been amazed at songwriters who can convey a whole array of emotions in such a few words, or drive home an extreme feeling with only a line or two.
