The Poetry Files Begins With… ‘Fairytale’

Writing0 Comment on The 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 […]

Harry Potter: The final spell, and how, with one wave of his wand, the boy wizard transfigured my life (Written 2010)

Writing0 Comment on Harry 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.

Drama and Music, Writing0 Comment on My Bad Boy of Emmerdale: Why do I love Robert Sugden?

Drama and Music, My Novel, Writing0 Comment on Reflections 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 […]

Writing0 Comment on New 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 […]

September 2007 ….. Day One in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Euphoria, that’s all I remember feeling. Pure euphoria.  Six oc’lock me and Mum rose from our beds, and then half an hour later- There I was, sat in a car on my way to filming Harry Potter.  The clouds were grey and dull, […]
