Brittany was born and raised in New Jersey where she spent most of her childhood dreaming her summers away. Naturally, the only suitable job for her was that of a writer. With years of editorial and publishing experience under her belt, Brittany embarked on a career as a novelist. "In the Blink of an Eye: September 11th Stories" is her first published work. She is currently working on her debut novel. ...more

Sorry this is so late. I feel privileged to live in New Jersey. It is unlike any place I've ever visited before. I'm close to the beach, close to NY and Philly. I experience seasons. All of that influences my writing profoundly. In the novel I am working on, my main character is from New Jersey and even though she lives in NY at the start of the story, her experiences in NJ shape her view of the world. (less)

They are quick and force you to focus on form. I sometimes like to write short stories as well. (less)

NaNoWriMo 2021 Update: Days 27-30

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is image.jpeg

Hello everyone! Well, it’s here. The last day of NaNoWriMo. And although I did not accomplish as much as I would like, I am happy with the progress I made on my novel.

Over the past several days, I’ve been working on chapter 3. Today, I made great progress, nearly finishing the chapter. It’s been rough balancing work and writing, but I have come to terms with the fact that deadlines I have made fo

The History Book ...: SEPTEMBER 11TH 72 466 Feb 25, 2026 08:17AM  
Friendship ... is born at the moment when one man says to another What! You
“Friendship ... is born at the moment when one man says to another "What! You too? I thought that no one but myself . . .”
C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves

Steve Jobs
“Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
Steve Jobs

Ernest Hemingway
“There is no friend as loyal as a book.”
Ernest Hemingway

J.K. Rowling
“Do you remember me telling you we are practicing non-verbal spells, Potter?"
"Yes," said Harry stiffly.
"Yes, sir."
"There's no need to call me "sir" Professor."
The words had escaped him before he knew what he was saying.”
J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

J.K. Rowling
“It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all—in which case, you fail by default.”
J.K. Rowling
