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?)

In honor of an earlier post, I thought I would share a little of my overwhelming need to have a full library installed in my home. (that would be like heaven on earth for our family – haha). I spent about two weeks ago, cleaning out our house and freecycling everything that didn’t have a home or . . . → Read More: Overflowing Bookshelves I haven’t done one of these in a long time, and I stumbled across this on another writer’s blog. I saved it for a day when inspiration wasn’t coming as easily – yes, that’s today. So here is my version of the writer’s meme. (oh and if you decide to do it, please leave me a comment . . . → Read More: Writer’s Meme I heard the most absurd thing the other day. I had a neighbor at our door (and then in our living room) that I don’t know very well. She lives much further into the neighborhood, and I’ve seen her at my children’s school, but have really never spoken to her. At any rate, she was standing . . . → Read More: How Do You Live a Writer’s Life? Thanks to the wonderful world of Twitter, I came across this article via @FionaRobyn written by Gina Holmes (@Ginawrites), suggesting it is a good idea to promote your novel (which is really just to say – get your name out there) as early as possible. After reading the article in full, I thought it was well . . . → Read More: Promote the Novel You Haven’t Written I’ve had a lot of questions that I have been wondering lately, and have been posting them on twitter to get answers from as many writers as possible. Today I asked “What genre do you primarily write in?”. The answers were varied, some had more than one. Here is a compilation of the responses. If you’d like . . . → Read More: What Genre Do You Most Write? I have entirely too many WIP’s (Work in Progress) right now. I have a gnawing need to get started on a new idea I have for a story. It’s the first one where I actually have a beginning, middle and end – ahead of time. Normally I let my characters lead, but this time I have . . . → Read More: Too Many WIP Honestly I was born to write. When I’m not writing, I feel the constant need, the constant creative thoughts flowing through me. I feel compelled to write. When I am writing, I feel that need fulfilled. It feels almost poetic… a justice to the words and thoughts I needed to get out. Sometimes the writing is good, and . . . → Read More: The Only Thing I Hate About Writing… I had to take a day off writing, so I am really not as far as I would like to be, but I am hoping all that will change today. I spent the entire day yesterday spreading out my notes and print outs, and creating post it’s to get that section more organized. I am eager to . . . → Read More: Plotting The Next Part of My Novel Three of my children and my husband are busy laughing at me, because I have assembled what I call my ‘Writer’s Tool Kit’. Well laugh all you want, but it helps. The only reason that the other two aren’t laughing is because they are doing NaNoWriMo with me this year, so they know how awesome it is . . . → Read More: Writing Tool Kits I finally have what I consider a complete manuscript. But I wanted to play around with it a little and see what it would look like as a completed novel. There is a difference between formatting a novel, and formatting a manuscript, and it is important to know those differences. This is how to format a . . . → Read More: How to Format a Novel  |
