It's All About Writing

Mother. Writer. Author. Friend.

Hi there, I am Nicole. This blog is simply my little corner of the writing world. I used to own and operate the previous website known as Freelance Writer's Exchange, but my focus changed a lot and I decided to let that go and run with this.

I am a YA & Women's Fiction writer. Trying my hand at my first steamy romance novel. Wife. Mom to 5. Freelance contributor to family, food & lifestyle pubs. I love chocolate, books, photography, scrapbooking & Sushi. Not necessarily in that order.

I absolutely love comments, and love meeting new people, so please be sure and leave a comment so I know you've visited, and so I can come visit you.

Character Development Helpers

Written By Nicole Humphrey Cook

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Been working on my characters for the past few days, and found some useful websites that I thought I would share. I figured these would help anyone that was doing any type of character development.

Need a last name?

Need an Irish first name? (this is really for myself, because I am working on something that required me to have a very Irish first name.)

Need a first name for any culture or country?

Need to know your character inside and out?

Need to know the legal age for any magnitude of things in any country?

Need to find a job for your character? - This site tells you salary, education requirements and what you would be expected to do in each job. I love this site… great resource.

This is another great job locating informational site!

Find out how much you would be paid to do any job in any state.

Want to learn more about people/areas/etc. in your stories?

Need to know more about an ailment/disease/medical condition?

Learn about any world religion.

So, that’s it for now. I have lots more resources, and I will add more as time allows. Enjoy and if you find something useful, please leave a comment with the link or links below. Thanks guys!!
