Introduction Ever wanted to meet God, ride on a Hippogriff’s back, run with Robin Hood or ask William Shakespeare what he thinks about modern poetry? Well, believe it or not there is a way and that is something I am going to discuss tonight. Firstly, it is very rare to be a natural Lucid dreamer (achieve […]
Continue ReadingThe Poetry Files Begins With… ‘Fairytale’
Unexpected. Expected. Always there. Walking dream in daylight, kissing my shoulders, pulling me close. Dancing spirits, cocooned hearts. At night, I’m a playful shadow, lost in the moonlit maze. This time, it doesn’t matter. I’m happy to be here. With you. I’ll hide around, jump-scare, lie under this canopy of stars. We’ll laugh and dance […]
Continue ReadingHarry Potter: The final spell, and how, with one wave of his wand, the boy wizard transfigured my life (Written 2010)
Unlike most, I used to despise the mere mention of Harry Potter. Hard to imagine now, but back when I knew nothing about it, I was filled with disgust and revulsion towards the boy wizard. In the school corridors, if anyone whispered the name, I shuddered! Thinking about this now, I can’t believe I actually […]
Continue ReadingMy Bad Boy of Emmerdale: Why do I love Robert Sugden?
Robert Sugden…. The Schemer. The Manipulator. The Accidental-Killer. A guy with no limits, and sometimes (it appears) no conscience. He’s been beaten up, shot, threatened, and even left for dead, after his step son deliberately tried to poison him with carbon monoxide…. That handsome face has been punched so many times it’s hard to keep […]
Continue Reading<3 Meeting Busted at James Bourne's Birthday Book Signing! <3 13th September 2004 <3 and more....
Evening, all. Tonight is that promised post about the time when I was lucky enough to meet James, Matt, and Charlie from ‘Busted.’ I’ll also go into detail re my adoration of their music, their style, and the fact that they gave a little nod to their ‘What I go to school for’ video last […]

As one of my favourite movies says…. If a man doesn’t fit, you can’t exchange him seven days later for a gorgeous cashmere sweater. Sophie Kinsella, Confessions of a Shopaholic As it’s a New Year, you’ll probably want to change up your look. In this post? I’m going to be writing about my inspiration from […]
Continue ReadingThe Positivity Post, filled with Potter, Pitches, and Present-unpacking!
It is the yearly ‘Golden Egg’ ball on the 31st January… and I have just entered the pitch competition. Last time, I didn’t get through. This time will probably be the same, but – as with anything you care about – the point is that I try. I’m not going to post it here, unless […]
Continue ReadingReflections and Resolutions, the Rachel E. Brooker Way!
Forgive the lateness of this post, but I was ill yesterday with a terrible headache; and even stopped watching my ‘Emmerdale’ clips because of it. That’s when you know I feel bad! Anyway, here are my reflections on 2019…. It was a year of self-discovery, really. I quit my barista job, deciding that the next […]
Continue ReadingNew Year 2020 means….. a new room! Naturally…..
I don’t know about you, but when I hit the 31st December, it’s like my mind automatically goes, “Soon, or now, you must fix your room again, properly. I’m talking the whole works, cleaning, dusting, culling, you name it.” Now? It’s the 2nd of January, and I’ve already managed to finish about 5 percent of […]
Continue ReadingConfession: I’m an overly- obsessive Emmerdalian…. even my cat watches it!
Despite this new obsession (I have so many in the collection!) I’m not – generally – a girl who likes soaps. Back in the day, I used to catch ‘Eastenders’, and ‘Hollyoaks’, but usually only when a story line grabbed my attention. Hello the Kat, Alfie and Andy drama! I’ll never forget the classic wedding […]
