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.  PhD Online  
Are you participating in NaNoWriMo in 2010? If you are, leave me a comment with your id and I'll add you as a friend! 2010 will be my 5th year winning, and my 7th year participating. (like the optimism?)

There are even dare threads where you can insert a purple monkey who loves steak sandwiches somewhere in your novel. I tend to be a bit more serious than that, though it makes me laugh to think about where . . . → Read More: Need Plot Help? Need a Name? Quirk? Line?

Feel free to take the questions and answer them about your own characters. More character . . . → Read More: Character Development Questions I absolutely love the idea of using anagrams to create names for people, locations and buildings in your stories. For instance, the past couple of years, it has been a tradition to include someone in your novel with an anagram formed from NaNoWriMo. The favorite is Mr. Ian Woon, (after all he is the original!) however . . . → Read More: Fun Way to Create Names of Any Kind I was browsing through the forums over at NaNo and just trying to absorb as much info as I could to quench my insatiable appetite for November’s NaNo. I came across many posts that offered ideas and things people were doing to help get them in the NaNo mood. So here are a few ideas to get . . . → Read More: Ideas To Get in the NaNo Spirit Try any of these spots for a little help on writing your novel or getting inspired. I plan to keep this fairly updated and eventually turn it into a link up at the top. Looking for a first name? First Names and What They Mean Looking for a last name?

Two different libraries, and a few Websites. I have to get to know the house she purchases as if I actually live there myself. I also wanted to figure out which town the story takes place in specifically. At first I was going to . . . → Read More: Researching the Novel Many NaNo’ers complain a few week’s before NaNo starts (mostly on the forums) that they are itching to get started. I can totally relate to that, as I have been itching to get started on my story idea for week’s now. Especially when the story just keeps unfolding in my mind. Some ideas to help with that . . . → Read More: Got That Itch? Every year I send a donation to The Office of Letters and Light (NaNoWriMo). Last year I think I sent $20 total. This year, I plan to donate three times. Once in October, once in November and once in December, for a grand total of $60.00. Why do I do this? Because its something I can . . . → Read More: Donations, a Halo and a Convertible Spyder Last year I enjoyed asking myself questions about my character as she was developing. Since I am trying to get to know my new character better, I am all over asking myself those odd questions again.
