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.

NaNo Necessities

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.

CoffeeAndChocolate These are a few of my absolute necessities for my writing. Doesn’t necessarily have to be for NaNo, just for writing.

chocolate (total no brainer)
candy
gum
coffee yes, even at night
sticky notes or index cards (for several reasons – making notes about where I’m going, jot thoughts and create To Do lists for when I’m NOT writing – you know – all the stuff I neglect LOL)
music – This year, I have my iPod touch and I am hoping to put those headphones on, and drown out the world. Yay!
Easy Meals and Recipes so I can make fast dinners – I have two of my children participating this year so I know they will appreciate it too since they are in school all day long. LOL
Dictionary and Thesaurus or just a quick link to either online so I can quickly look up something and get back to writing!
