Hello, I’m Nicole L. Czarnomski (zar-NOM-ski), marketing director by day and freelance writer by night. My bylines range from wheatgrass to whiskey to pet sitters. I write with one or two cats on my lap and a hot cup of black coffee by my side.
My first memoir “How Cancer Cured My Broken Soul,” launches in late February 2020. The book is the product of my nine-month battle with Stage 3 breast cancer.
If I am not writing, I’m reading a memoir or psychological thriller or anything by Kristin Hannah. If there isn’t a book in my hand, I’m bingeing on Netflix or painting, art journaling, singing karaoke (only at home) or woodworking with her husband.

Hi Lisa,
You are so kind! I was surprised at how much you appreciate my thoughts and words. I can’t thank you enough for your support and readership. It’s difficult to put yourself out there and it is always nice to know that it inspires someone. I love to read your reflections on life; your prose is poetic and engaging. Thank you for sharing.
I imagine that you are an incredible mother and wife. I look forward to reading more of your posts! Keep them coming 🙂
Best,
Nicole
Hi Nicole, it’s great to find you in WordPress! Your cats are so adorable. I am sure I will enjoy your blog for long run – still have to catch up with your blog 🙂
Keep writing for magazine! It feels like I am talking to myself, I should start to write for magazine again, my motivation is bit low nowadays 😀 – You did great by having some of your articles published in several magazines. So inspiring!
Have a wonderful day!!
Hi Indah,
Yes, I love writing for magazines. I have been very fortunate to work with editors who send me assignments. I don’t know how long that will last, so, I try to appreciate every assignment that I receive.
I am glad you found my blog, I hope you enjoy it. I can’t wait to read more from you too! Have a wonderful weekend! 🙂
Nicole
Your cats are sooooo beautiful:)
Thank you so much! I love them like they are little humans! 🙂
I love your About page. Its so honest and open. Great work! I don’t know how though that I seem to have acquainted a lot of people from Minnesota lately 😀
Hi Akanksha! Thank you for reading and commenting! Pretty cool that you are in touch with people from Minnesota! Funny how that happens. Have a great day!
Nicole

Hi Lisa,
I appreciate your nomination. You are too kind. I hope you understand that I do not wish to participate in the awards. Please know that I am flattered…and I love reading your blog! 🙂
Nicole
No problem!! 🙂 🙂
Hi! Thank you for the follow to my blog.
I have a good reason to follow yours: I like the name Whispering Pen. I think something does whisper to us little ideas. But then it’s up to us to create. It might not be today or tomorrow, but the idea has been planted. 🙂
I have a good reason not to follow you too: You are a fitness instructor and I will feel guilty every time I read your blog. 🙁 But maybe that is good too. 🙂
Hi! Thanks so much for reading and commenting. Please don’t feel guilty about working out. It’s a lifestyle for me…it always has been. 🙂 I am glad you like the name of my blog. I think it fits me just fine. If you listen you can hear creativity whispering to you.
Best wishes,
Nicole
Will keep my ears open. 🙂

Oh not at all! 🙂 Thank you for letting me know, and I hope you have a great week as well!
Hi Nicole,

Last night, I dreamed about using an old fountain pen, and it made such a nice sound as I wrote with it. Then, your blog name popped up in my inbox today. I love these little coincidences.
Oh, and I love your cats. 🙂 Yvonne
