Intro to my blog!!

Well, hello my Blogger Dreamers! It's your girl aka the Blogger Queen herself, Brandee here and welcome back to an all new weekly blog episode where I talk about anything that is personal or what happened in my life!! How are my Blogger Dreamers doing today? I hope and pray that y'all are doing okay and well! Whatever the circumstances might be or whatever it is bothering my Blogger Dreamers, just know that I'm here for y'all, no matter what! Happy Wednesday or in other countries, Happy Thursday!! Before I get into today's blog episode, here is a blog recap of Monday's blog episode! On Monday, I talked about the word "Encouragement". We deserve to have people in our lives to encourage or motivate us in anyway that we can and I think it is good to encourage the people around you because if you tell that person that they can do it, it shows them that someone believes in them! If y'all haven't read that blog and would love to check it out, please go check it out whenever y'all can! Please! It's called "Talking about the word "Encouragement" by Brandee Marie Darden!! For today's blog episode, I will be talking about what are chapters 1-3 of my book about? In this blog episode, I will be talking about since writing a book, what are chapters 1-3 about? Why did I write about those things about in those chapters? If I could describe each chapter in my own words, what would my own words be? Why would I describe each chapter like that? If I have any advice about writing a book, what would my advice be? Why would I give that advice about writing a book to my Blogger Dreamers? Now, let's get our blogging brain on and get this blog episode started! Shall we? We shall!!

How has my book journey so far? Why has it been like that so far?

How has my book journey so far? If I could describe my book journey so far, I would describe it as a good and amazing journey so far! Working on my book has been a journey where I am enjoying every minute of it! I always wanted to write a book but I didn't have the courage to do so but I am so glad and blessed that I get to share most my life with the people around the world and praying whatever they have been through, they could try and relate to it! For me, I want to people to relate to what I have been through and if they went through it, I am praying what I said in my book can help them the best way I can! For me, working on my book has been therapeutic and I am so glad that I am giving an opportunity and working on a book! Why has it been like that so far? The reason it has been good and amazing journey so far because when I work on my book, it makes me think that one day I can become the world's best selling author and one day, I can meet millions of people who might read my book and potentially my blogs as well!! I pray that it could happen one day!!!

My chapters 1-3 about!!

Since writing a book, what are chapters 1-3 about? The 1st chapter of my book is about my childhood and when I was growing up! When I was growing up, I remember being a shy little girl and to this day, I am still shy! I will always remain shy until I open up to people! The 2nd chapter is about what happened in 2018? What happened in 2018 was a lot of things going on around that time but the thing that sticks out to me in 2018 was when I tried to commit suicide and at that time, I was dealing with a lot of issues but I'm fine now!! The 3rd and final chapter is about life lessons that life taught me!! Life has taught me so many lessons and if I can share my life lessons in my book, I feel like that chapter could help someone!!

Why?

Why did I write about those things about those chapters? The reason why I wrote the 1st chapter as my childhood slash when I was growing up because I want people know what kind of childhood and how I was growing up! When I was a little kid, I remember throwing my dad's shoes breaking stuff! I don't know why I did that but I know that I did that!!! The 2nd reason why I wrote the 2nd chapter as what happened in 2018 is because in 2018, I tried to commit suicide and I am so glad I didn't succeed because if I did, I wouldn't be here today and talking about it! Mental health is something that doesn't need to be joked about and it is something that needs to be taking serious! If you know someone who is going through mental health issues or even yourself, remind people that they are never alone and that there is people who is always there for them, no matter what! No one should ever have to feel alone and I'm here for anyone who needs support! The 3rd and final reason why I wrote the 3rd chapter as life lessons that life taught me is because life can teach you a serious of lessons and that's what happened to me! My life has taught me so many things for example, how the world can be so mean and the people in this world can fill your head with negative thoughts!! Don't let this world fill your head with negative thoughts because you are going to have that negative mindset if you do!!

Describe each chapter in my own words!!

If I could describe each chapter in my own words, what would my own words be? If I could describe my 1st chapter, it would not easy!! Growing up, I always had one parent in my life being consistent and always being there for me vs the other parent was always in and out of my life that was very hard for me! When I was a teenager, I would go to one parent house and that parent was happy but when I go to that parent house, that parent wasn't happy! My teenage years wasn't the easiest but I got through them!! If I could describe the 2nd chapter, it would be hard! In 2018, I just moved into a new place that I wasn't very familiar and not only that, I was already dealing with my own issues in my head at the time! It was hard for me and I am not proud that I tried to commit suicide but I am blessed that I am here today and talking about it! If I could describe my 3rd and final chapter, it would be a teaching moment! Life is all about teaching you and throwing you curve balls but when you are going through those curve balls, you get through them each and passing day and for me, I am blessed that I can take each life lesson and make it into a teaching moment for myself!!

Why?

Why would I describe each chapter like that? The reason why I would describe the 1st chapter not easy because I had to watch one parent raise me while the other parent was being absent in my life and that was hard for me! When I was a teenager, I had to go back and fourth and that was hard on me because while the other parent was spending time with me, the other parent wouldn't and it is hard! The 2nd reason why I would describe the 2nd chapter hard because suicide is something that is hard to deal with and for me, I have been dealing with suicidal thoughts for a long time but I am so glad that I got myself out of that dark hole that I was in and I'm proud of myself for talking about it because that's not easy at all!! The 3rd and final reason why I would describe the 3rd chapter as a teaching moment is because for me, life is about teaching and life taught me a lot of things and I'm so blessed that those teaching moments taught me and made me the woman that I am today and I am so proud of myself for learning how to stand up for myself instead of people constantly bringing me down!! I see so much growth in me and I am so happy for how far I have come in my life!!

My advice!

If I have any advice about writing a book, what would my advice be? If I have any advice for my Blogger Dreamers who want to write a book, here is my advice: My advice is come up with a book title and think about what you want it to be about! Think about how many chapters you want and who you want your audience to me! If you pick your audience to be a teenager or a grown adult, write your book based on a teenager or grown adult! Writing a book is not easy but if you have that dream of writing your own book, you go for it! Don't let anyone stop you! You go and reach your dreams of being an well known author!!

Why?

Why would I give that advice about writing a book to my Blogger Dreamers? The reason why I would give that advice to my Blogger Dreamers is because if you have a certain audience that you want to target, then write your book based on a teenager or adult or even a kid's interest! You want to gain that attention based on someone or a certain age! There are some people who might like books that are fiction or even non fiction! If you have that dream of writing a book, you go for it! Don't let anyone stop you from writing unto your heart's content! Do it because that is your dream and you want to become that well known author or do it because you love writing! Don't let anyone stop you from writing!! You do you and be proud of it!!

In closing/ Question of the day??

In closing, this whole writing a book process has been an amazing but hard journey but a wonderful journey! I am up to 20 chapters and where I from started from a year ago to now and that I am so proud and impressed with myself!! I love working on my book so much! Working on this book has been very therapeutic to me and when I am working on it, I think about if anyone will like it or if anyone would relate to the book or to the issues that I have been through! My goal with this book is if can relate to it and I just pray that the people around the world can relate to it! Here is my question of the day?? My question of the day is if you could title your first book, what would the title of your book be? Why would you title your book that? Sound off in the comments down below and let me know!
