Let’s talk about your process. How did you stay motivated and combat writer’s block? Do you have any writing “rituals” that helped you stay on track?

Brooke: I wish I had a better answer for this one, especially as I start writing book two, but with Phoebe, truly, I was just so excited about it, and it had been brewing for so long, that in any free moment I had, I was at my computer, writing. So it really was not an issue for me to write. It was an issue for me to step away. That was the experience that I had with Phoebe, which, now that I don’t have another story that I’ve been sitting on for so long, I’m going to have to figure out what my writing routine is, which is interesting because I’ve already written a book, but I do not have a routine. So, we will see how that goes. But with Phoebe, it just came out, and I was so excited.

BuzzFeed: I don’t know how much you’re allowed to talk about book two. Is it in the Phoebe universe? Is it a standalone? Is it totally different? Is there anything you can tease or talk about?

Brooke: From what is in my head right now, it’s in the Phoebe universe, but it is also a standalone. 

BuzzFeed: Very exciting. How far along in that process would you say you are?

Brooke: I would say at the very beginning stages. I think once I say goodbye to Phoebe after the tour, then I’ll really be able to get into this new story.
