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?)

I applied to be the examiner.com St. Louis Frugal Family Examiner after noticing that the previous writer had not published anything since April of last year.

I took the chance about two weeks ago and went ahead . . . → Read More: Examiner.com – St. Louis Frugal Family Examiner Before the holidays I always go a bit crazy writing articles, to make up for the holiday rush that seems to make article writing take a back seat. I have a ton of articles I have done nothing with yet, and have been throwing around the idea of tossing them up on Suite 101 or Associated . . . → Read More: Slow Down on Article Writing Completely on a whim, I decided to apply at Suite 101 just to see what would happen. I have written for some pretty big named sites on the Internet, but when I applied to Suite101 in May 2008, I got turned down. Back then I was writing for families.com. Uhm. Okay. So I put it on the . . . → Read More: Suite 101 – Got Words? I was browsing around today looking at some of my older articles I have written at a variety of locations, and ended up laughing when I landed on one site in particular. I left them back several months ago, because the pay was pretty bad for what the article entailed – I had received a pay increase . . . → Read More: Past Writing Positions Every writing class or workshop I have ever attended has taught the same phrase until it is embedded in my head. Write what you know. It is interesting to me to go back and read articles that I had to research for, and then articles based on my own experiences or knowledge. Guess which ones are better? . . . → Read More: Write What You Know Article Spinning annoys the heck out of me. According to Wikipedia, the definition for Article Spinning is: Article spinning is a search engine optimization technique by which blog or website owners attempt to manipulate their rank on Google and other search engines. It works by rewriting existing articles, or parts of articles, and replacing elements to avoid . . . → Read More: Article Spinning – What Do You Think? Doesn’t it suck to lose a job? It especially sucks when you’re a freelancer and you rely on the income from sporadic jobs, etc. Thus is the case with a situation I am currently in. It doesn’t affect me, as much as it affects other bloggers who unfortunately chose to put all their eggs in one . . . → Read More: Losing a Job I certainly did not mean to disappear. It’s like I won NaNo and fell off the planet. Actually I didn’t. I just threw myself actively into writing again and had less time to spend blogging for fun, but if ever I am missing for any length of time, feel free to visit my other blog. I promise . . . → Read More: Where Did I Go? Holy craziness! I just signed onto one of my accounts and found out that I have had a few articles picked up by various places. I was most excited about being featured on Reuters. That’s pretty huge! LOL So here’s where you can find them: Reuters: Our Favorite Dry Rub Recipe It was also picked up by chefs.com Reuters: . . . → Read More: Articles Picked Up By Reuters  |
