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.

The Pocket Muse 2

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.

I picked up The Pocket Muse 2 by Monica Wood, today. I know I’m a little behind the times, as it was released quite awhile ago. I really enjoyed the first one though and have had it for a couple of years. When I am just plain stuck, for whatever strange reason, just looking at a couple of pages often inspires me to get back to writing.

So walking through the book store today, I saw the second one, and decided to just go ahead and get it. I’ve already glanced through it several times, and just love it. I’m not sure which one I love more, but I really am quite happy with both of them.

I was also able to extend my wish list today while looking at the writing books too. Thinking I need to stay OUT of the bookstore after my taxes get back or I will totally go crazy spending. Or I could just look on amazon and get them for cheaper since a few of them have been out awhile.
What is your favorite writing book for inspiration or advice?
