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.

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:

Texting a Novel

With all the time I’ve spent with Mike in the hospital last week and then doctors visits, and I’m sure plenty more in the upcoming weeks – I actually started a new novel (well, two) that I am “texting”.

The Epic Twitter UnFollow Saga

Yeah. So I didn’t know what else to title this post besides “WTF” which is pretty much not appropriate.

First, let me preface this by saying that I absolutely don’t care about this situation other than to simply find the humor in the whole thing. Second, if you are offended by foul language, simply skip this post. . . . → Read More: The Epic Twitter UnFollow Saga

I posted this the other day on twitter, and did not even think about posting it on my blog.
