Welcome!

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.

Well, this particular favorite tweets covers a whole two, almost three week span, because I got so busy planning and then taking a short trip, that I didn’t get them up. Sorry about the “lateness”, but it is seriously jam packed with tons of links, so hopefully that makes up for it.

I Write Like…

I tried the new site that everyone is tweeting about “I Write Like…” because I was curious. I was shocked at my result for one of my completed manuscripts. After pasting a portion of the first chapter, I was surprised to see this:

Life is getting back to normal slowly. I am writing more, and I seem to be a bit more focused than I was previously.
