THE BASICS
Hello! It's a privilege to meet you. I'm Selena Brooks, a teenage girl filling her small corner of the Internet with all of my thoughts. I write to express myself and to explore concepts that I choose to ponder in my spare time.
My books range from mystery to realistic fiction to fantasy, but typically center around normal teenage girls doing normal teenage things. I'm fascinated by daily life and the complexities that the smallest action can create. To me, writing such realistic circumstances allows me to explore scenarios that I may not get to in my own life. I also delve into deep concepts that I suspect the average person contemplates often: life versus death, what it means to truly be alive, how happiness is created, what it means to be truly independent, etc.
My characters are strong, they are sometimes unlikable, and they change exponentially throughout their novels. These changes reflect the changes that I encounter as I live through them. If you haven't realized it yet, my writing is deeply personal and I write almost entirely for myself. My readers are my pick-me-up when I need an extra dose of motivation :)

why did i start writing?
I've been a writer since I was old enough to pick up a pencil. To me, telling stories is a natural thing and is an extension to breathing—it's as habitual as brushing my teeth. My writing has gone through its ups and downs, but it's always been something I've come back to and fallen back on when I need it.
Ideally, I will turn my writing into a career, but right now I'm just enjoying finding myself through my words and meeting amazing people from all over the world. Writing has changed me as a person and has shaped me like nothing else I've ever done in my life. I suspect I'll keep doing it until the day I die.

ME, PERSONALLY
My readers know me as a hardworking, cheerful person who rarely takes a break when I'm trying to reach a goal. On a more personal level, I'm in love with life and eager to make the most of every opportunity I have. Some words to describe me? Dancer, writer, proud Christian, hopeless romantic, obsessive studier, lover of nature, beach-walker, high schooler, Disney movie watcher, pop music listener, puppy lover, shopaholic, maker of to-do lists, dreamer, rider of cars with the windows down, long hair, big heart. I love a lot of things, strongly and passionately, and I don't think it's in my DNA to have hate. I'm a feel-good, act-good person, and I embrace chances for happiness and joy.
I love to interact with my readers and I chat with them as often as I can! I've formed a lot of friendships that have transcended many years of storytelling, so please don't hesitate to reach out to me. My contact information can be found in the main menu of the website.

MY CORNER OF THE INTERNET
I tend to write multiple books at a time and publish them as I write. While I can undergo a month or two hiatus while I go through difficult/incredibly busy times in real life, I am online and updating frequently. New chapters are posted for my works in progress anywhere from one to multiple times per week. I have been known to update daily or even multiple times per day when I have a lot of free time and am particularly obsessed with a story.
I reply to all comments on my books and answer every single message I receive. My readers are everything to me as without them, I would have never made it so far with my writing.
