Just a few things you should know first:

My photo
I love writing, and writing is what I do best. Everyone has their own inspiration and a way to deal with emotion, and my outlet is writing and music. Music is my calm, my happiness, my sadness and my life. I love music, I listen to it all day everyday. I have been writing since I learned how to make sense of all the things going on in my mind. My writing is how I get everything I feel out in the open. When I create a character I feel like I put myself in their shoes, like I vicariously live through them... I wouldn't have it any other way because to me it makes them seem more relatable. Without my writing and music, I would be a lost soul... It is who I am. My name is also Katy Brooks, though it is not my real name, it who I will be known as from here on out.

Collegiate Softball

Softball. This is what I pretty much do for a living. I play in College, and I have since I started school. I am on scholarship, so this is my full time job...


I don't see softball in my future, just until I finish College. The only reason why I play is so I can get a free education. So if I don't have to be in debt after student loans, etc... So for four years my life will consist of practice, study hall, team meetings, games, and practice.

My weekly schedule looks a lot like this:
Monday - 5 am weights - 7 am. Class. Lunch. Practice from 2:00-5:30. dinner. TV shows 7-10. Homework. Bed by 11-12.
Tuesday - Class from 9-1:30. Lunch somewhere between there. Practice 2:00-5:30. Dinner. Study Hall 7-8:30. More Hw. Bed by 11-12.
Wednesday - Same as monday except study hall from 7-8:30.
Thursday - Same as Tuesday.
Friday - Same as Wednesday.
Saturday - Sunday = Game's/tournaments.
**We usually have games on Friday and Saturday, and sometimes Thursday and maybe a Monday/Wednesday every once in awhile**
We don't have a free weekend off after next Friday, our first game, (Jan 29th). We don't even get spring break. I am pretty much booked til the end of May.

You could say my life is consumed of being a collegiate athlete....

If I had it my way... I would write all day/everyday. Writing is my passion, and my passion is put on hold a little bit for my free education. This sacrifice I am willing to make. I know in the future I will have been worth it.
