March 8, 2021 Brandon needs your advice!! Hey Everyone, Since this column is called ASK BRANDON, I’m always the person giving the advice. However, this week, I personally NEED advice! Okay, I know this request is probably a little…okay, A LOT weird, but I need to know what you think. My good friend, Nikki Maxwell, has been encouraging me to start keeping a diary. Although most of us guys, prefer to call it a journal. I told her that I would think about it. I decided to mention this idea to my best bud, Max Crumbly, and get his opinion. He was like, “Heck yeah, you definitely should keep a journal, dude! I’m already working on my fourth one!” So far, that is two “YES” answers! This is the big question that I need YOUR advice on: Should I start keeping a journal? Also, what should I write about because I have NO idea?! Should I include fun doodles or drawings? Although to be honest, I have no talent whatsoever at drawing. This leads me to my next important question. If I decide to add drawings to my journal, who should I ask to create them? I know THREE really good ARTISTS: 1) My best bud, Max. 2) My crush, Nikki Maxwell. 3) MacKenzie Hollister (who for some strange reason is always hanging around me) OR 4) Just try to draw them myself. Doodles are fun and silly and don’t have to be perfect! By the way, I would ask my artist to draw on a separate piece of paper, then I’d just tape the drawings into my journal! Otherwise, the person might read all of the personal stuff I wrote! Since I’m an avid photographer, instead of drawings, maybe I could just take cool PHOTOS for my diary entries. What do you think of THIS idea? Anyway, I would really appreciate your thoughts on my possible journal project. Who knows!! Maybe I’ll consider sharing my personal journal with the ENTIRE world like Nikki and Max C. did 😀!! Please post your advice to ME (Brandon) in the comments section below. Your best bud,BRANDON

Anonymous says March 9, 2021 at 12:07 am HELOOOOO! It’s me the person who started with dude? I forgot to put something. When you have a diary or journal you can put photos in them. You may not be great at drawing but you’re awesome at photography! By thee way you’ve asked Nikki on dates but what I meant was ask her to be your girlfriend! You’ve ask her on dates, gone to dances together and even confessed you liked her! That’s the only thing missing for a happily ever after the end!

Chu chu says March 8, 2021 at 11:54 pm You should totally keep a journal!! I would definitely read it. If you don’t have a problem… I mean I wouldn’t want anyone to read my diary so…
Fake nikki says March 8, 2021 at 11:50 pm Hey, did you just say your ‘CRUSH’ Nikki Maxwell? Oh, nevermind
Anonymous says March 8, 2021 at 11:39 pm Dude do whatever you like! This journal or whatever is about you and no one but you should decide what goes in it. You could add lots of fun doodles and stuff or if you’re like me and really lazy write in it once a month (or year lol) whatever that suits you. Oh and it would be awesome if we could read your journal too! P.S: Mate you just gave away your crush in fornt of the whole entire dork diaries world. Ask her out on a ral date like an actual one already!
TheStripedParrot says March 10, 2021 at 2:20 pm Omigosh, I just found someone else who writes once a month in their diary :O We be the lazy diary club, heheh.
Keepadiarybrandon says March 8, 2021 at 11:35 pm OMG!! You have to keep a Diary! I like the idea of taking pictures for your Diary! By the way, Mackenzie hangs out with you because she likes you.
peepawgirl says March 8, 2021 at 11:28 pm Hey! I have like ten journals and all of them are messy. DO WHAT YOU FEEL LIKE DOING BRANDO!! And, your doodles can be random and totally not aesthetic or cute!
Kuki says March 8, 2021 at 11:07 pm Brandon you MUST WRITE a DIARY! Your friends NIKKI MAXWELL and MAX CRUMBLY both write diaries. And you should probably have one, too. So, please write a diary! And Brandon do you like MacKenzie or what?? She’s like crazy!
Mackenzie's Right, Bruh says March 8, 2021 at 11:06 pm Nah, I find Nikki way too annoying when I’m in her head, don’t ruin yourself for me. Keep a journal if you like, just don’t share it with the whole world.
Ilove♡Anime says March 8, 2021 at 10:59 pm YES!! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!! I WOULD LOVE TO READ YOUR DIARY!!!!!!!!!!!
#real life chloe + zoey says March 8, 2021 at 10:57 pm You should for sure! Instead of drawings you can stick photographs since thats your talent!
AwesomeSupporter says March 8, 2021 at 10:47 pm Couple of things… 1) YOU ADMITTED YOU HAVE A CRUSH ON HER?! OMG, MY MIND IS BLOWN!!!! 2) Yeah, dude. TOTALLY! Go for it ( as long as you share it with everyone 😉 3)Just write about the stuff about school and home and how you feel 4)Draw or photograph yourself! I would LOVE to see your MAD art skillz 5)PLS MAKE A JOURNAL AND PUBLISH IT!!!
Positive Peach says March 8, 2021 at 10:40 pm Dear Brandon, I think it would be great if you started writing in your own journal. In my opinion, I think I speak for all fans when I say that we would all love to see everything from your side of things. Writing in your own journal would give us the opportunity to learn more about you and your everyday life. Also, it doesn’t have to be just about the fans. Journals and diaries are for people to write their feelings down without being judged or ridiculed. Lastly, I think you should draw your own pictures in your journal. This would make it more personal and recognizable, even if you are bad at drawing. I hope you make a decision that works best for you. Remember, at the end of the day, it’s your decision that really matters. Thank you so much for reading this!
dorkdiaries4ever says March 8, 2021 at 10:33 pm You should just go with your guts on this one. Even out the pros and cons about if u should have a journal or not. I would choose Mackenzie Hollister. I mean, Max already has a journal and so does Nikki.
HorseyGirl says March 8, 2021 at 10:28 pm BRANDON PLZZ READ!!!! I have thought about this a LOTTTTT lol! I really think you should start one. I think that if you ever get your journals published then you should have Nikki and Max help you get started. I also think adding pictures/ Polaroids would be SUPER COOL!!(or you could ask Nikki over face time or Zoom of course and you could spend time together while learning to draw!!!) Yeah I think that’s all my ideas lol P.S. plz consider this Brandon!!!!!
JOURNAL AGREEMENT GIRL says March 8, 2021 at 10:20 pm Of course you should! You seem like the type! Your friends are correct! I’d love to see a series of Brandon!
ShareurdiaryBrandon says March 8, 2021 at 10:07 pm Brandon, of course, you should have a journal. And it would be awesome to have a Brandon (last name I don’t know lol) journal series. Also, Mackenzie always hangs around you bc she likes you so just say no to dating her.
Brandon Simp says March 9, 2021 at 12:25 am You have always been my favourite character in the story! It would be really nice if you can share your journal with us! I’m curious about your daily life and w-what do you think about Nikki// Create the journal in your very own style!! It’s gonna be real cool~ Support you in all times!! (Love how you always care for animals and your hobby of taking photographs ><
Sensitive dork says March 8, 2021 at 10:05 pm Yeah, you should definitely go for it! It’s gonna be so much fun!
Dorkie says March 8, 2021 at 11:20 pm Yes Brandon you should write a diary you should write about things you did today like – 1) Hanging out with friends 2) Your sports paractice 3) where did you visit today- eg:- fuzzy Friends, Library, Crazy Burger, cup crackery 4) write about what MacKenzie did to you And if you can’t draw pictures it’s best to ask you Friends Nikki and Max but do not ask MacKenzie!!! or you can try to draw it yourself too , if you give someone else to draw give a separate paper And of course you can doodle (it’s easy peasy lemon squeasy) Yes and you can use photographs too Please share your diary with us after you write it!!! Please please share with us Love Dorkie
