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.

Explanation...

I feel maybe I should explain a big topic:


My name...

My real name is not Katy Brooks and I have it this way for a couple reasons...
1. My step-dad, who has done more for me than I could ever imagine, his last name is Brooks. He is my dad. He has done so much for me for the 11 years he has been apart of my life that the only way I can think of repaying him is giving his name the credit for any of my work that gets published.
2. My real dad/my real last name will always be my permanent last name... I will never change it on my birth certificate... So my last name will ALWAYS be that.
3. I don't want internet people to know my real information or who I am in real life. So Katy Brooks is who most people on here will know me as, and if any of my writing work gets published it will be Katy Brooks.

I don't want this to cause a problem with my family, whose last name is my real last name. I did this for my step dad, to give him credit for raising me and doing all the things he has done, and will do for me. I do it because I love him and no matter what happens to either of my dads, I will always have 2.

I love my real dad, and I will always. This is not a way to get back at him or any bull shit like that. It is a decision I made awhile back when I decided that I was going to become a writer...

This is the only way I know I can tell my step dad that I appreciate him more than he will ever know. :)
