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.

My New Writer’s Muse

So the other day I told you about the death of my muse. It occurred the day after we found this little guy swimming by us in the lake.

We’ve had a Red Eared Slider before, so it was quite exciting to find a baby. He looks huge here, doesn’t he?

Well check these out, because I am pretty sure . . . → Read More: My New Writer’s Muse

Freecycle Headaches

I have had NO writing time lately. I miss it. After the wedding, we decided to PURGE the house big time of all of the extra stuff we had accumulated, and the stuff we never got rid of when we moved in together four years ago. So I have spent the better part of the past . . . → Read More: Freecycle Headaches

Sampling of Wedding Photos

I was surprised by how many online friends asked if I had photos yet from my wedding and wanted to see them. First, I don’t have the professional photographs yet, probably in about 2-3 weeks. Second, I was lucky enough to have three amazing photographers at my wedding – one was paid, one is my mother . . . → Read More: Sampling of Wedding Photos

Took a little break and… got married!

Yes, you read that right. I was supposed to do a post about 2 weeks ago telling everyone about it, but then I got sidetracked (go figure) and just never did. So, ahem… yes I got married. Thursday was my wedding and it was beautiful. It feels weird to be married again though. It’s been 10 . . . → Read More: Took a little break and… got married!

That New Show – Castle

Sure, I believe that there are many people who still don’t know about the television show Castle, even though it is already in it’s second year and nearing the end of the 2nd season. However, it is certainly not a new show. Not by any stretch of the imagination. It first aired in March 2009 and . . . → Read More: That New Show – Castle

FOR THE WIFE WHO SAYS IT’S HOT DOGS TONIGHT,
BECAUSE SHE IS HOME WITH ME, AND NOT OUT WITH SOMEONE ELSE.
FOR THE HUSBAND WHO IS ON THE SOFA BEING A COUCH . . . → Read More: Thankful

Script Frenzy in Full Swing

Well, Script Frenzy is in full swing, and I have gotten a handful of pages typed up and a lot of notes. I feel like this might be easier than I thought, which is a good thing, as I have my other projects I cannot abandon this month.

I have met some great people over on twitter . . . → Read More: Script Frenzy in Full Swing

Inspirational Photographs

I draw inspiration from a lot of different sources, but when I am having a particularly tough time sitting down to write, I love to look at imagery. This can come from visiting a certain place, or just looking at a photograph of a beautiful location. If you saw the amount of “coffee-table” style books that . . . → Read More: Inspirational Photographs

Why Are You on Twitter?

I know there are so many different reasons that someone decides to utilize Twitter. It isn’t for everybody either – I have many friends that swear by Facebook, and I’m not a big fan most of the time. The biggest reason for using Twitter for many is to advertise, but the next biggest reason to be . . . → Read More: Why Are You on Twitter?
