current may

I stole this meme from A Peek at Karen’s World, a great writing blog. I love how we share many of the same answers. Here’s what I’m into for May:

Current Book

Stuff that Christians Like by Jon Acuff (again) for BookLinks

My own book, Dismantling Spider Webs, on my Nook, before I hand it over to the BookLink girls

Left Neglected by Lisa Genova (I loved Still Alice!)

Current Album

Sigh No More, Mumford & Sons

Current Shame-Inducing Guilty Pleasure

The Stumble button. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Current Drink

Pink Grapefruit Sparkling Ice

Current Songs

“Dog Days are Over”, Florence and the Machine
“Hannah”, Freelance Whales

Current Wish-List

Confidence that I am supposed to be writing and that my work is not drivel.

Current Needs

Sun therapy

A decision

Current Triumph

I finished Zone Trippers on Monday and I am handing out Dismantling Spider Webs at the end of this month. Sharing my work is a big hurdle for me! So is typing “The End.”

Current Favorite Film

I saw Water for Elephants in the theater opening weekend. Gorgeous! I am still trying to see Inception and The Social Network. I am so behind the times.

Current TV Show

Big Bang Theory, which I always love. Better With You is one of my new favorites.

Current Celebrity Crush

Nathan Fillion, who needs to play the lead in my current book, so my friend Laurel can meet and marry him. (Isn’t thist-shirt awesome?)

Current Indulgence

Copious amounts of Jelly Belly jelly beans, especially pomegranate and honey ones.

Current Outfit

Gardening pants, t-shirt and cardigan sweater. I can’t wait for sundress days!

Current Banes of My Existence

Osteoarthritis and a torn rotator cuff. Oh joy!

Current Excitement

The sun is currently shining! First time in weeks and the only day for the foreseeable future.

Current Mood

Still firmly mired in winter depression, so I am going outside to play!

Current Picture

Family portraits and new head shots are being taken next week by my awesome friend, Dawn Alicea. The awesome part about having friends who are photographers is that my kids are always their models. And almost all of my friends are photographers!

So what are you currently into?

What Her Clients Say...

“Nicole is very up-to-date on her knowledge of current marketing trends and new technologies and how they apply to the work she does for her clients.

“I am always impressed at how Nicole is always on top of her game. Her ability to move from one task to another while not losing sight of her goal is admirable. I appreciate her know-how and advice when it comes to a variety of topics, both personal and professional. Nicole is a talented writer, who strives to add heart, honesty, and professionalism to every piece she adorns with her name. –Darren McGarvey”

“Nicole is right on target when it comes to writing and marketing. She is innovative and tenacious not only in her design work and but getting the words just right ...all in a very timely manner. When Nicole says she will do something she does it. –Jeanne Porter”
