Poetic Since '90: Welcome to Nicole's Blog!

For nearly two years (2009-2011) I have had the opportunity to "live" one of my many dreams...doing interviews with rising stars and celebrities. Ever since I was about 13 I began to develop an interest for broadcasting (radio & tv music countdowns) such as TRL on MTV and 106 & Park on BET. Never in a million years did I expect to interview models such as Ayisha Diaz who appeared in music videos with everyone from Chris Brown to the WuTang Clan or Christa Elise who has appeared in music videos (ex. Money To Blow, 4 My Town, & Bed Rock) with artists on the HOTTEST and MOST SUCCESSFUL rap labels of our time, Young Money/Cash Money. Just this past June I interviewed Heather Marter, star of 'The Real World: Las Vegas' season 25, one of the most popular and longest running reality tv shows airing on MTV. Everyone I have interviewed has impressive resumes that all amaze me.

All of my interviews have brought me a lot of excitement, new opportunities, and best of all GROWTH which made the HARD (and I do mean extremely HARD!) work pay off in the end!!! My confidence in being able to succeed in broadcasting has increased, I have improved on sending out interview inquiries, creating interview questions, editing videos, and promoting my work. Doing interviews has allowed me to have many positive experiences, but there is a negative side to this field as well. Sometimes entertainers or their managers or representatives do no respond to interview inquiries, people will e-mail you expressing how they are interested in doing interviews and NEVER doing them, or some people will respond to inquiries agreeing to do interviews but end up not doing them once their interview questions are e-mailed to them.

A lot of people lack common courtesy or reach a certain status of success and think they are too good to do certain things. It is definitely hard work to research a talent's (model, musician, tv star, etc) background and work to create good interview questions and then they just flat out don't do the interview or at least communicate a decision change or other circumstances. That has happened countless times with rising stars and celebs who I will not name. The people who have not done their interviews, the time I have dedicated to editing and promoting my last few interviews done so far this year, sending out interview inquiries with a small percentage of success, the people who think I have connections in the entertainment world who try to use me to help them become models or get them mixtape drops from rappers, my hectic personal life, and a few other factors have all led me to my decision to take a hiatus from doing interviews maybe until 2012 or maybe this is the end. I definitely have no resentment to those who did not come through, because if something isn't meant to be it won't happen. I'm just tired of it, and all of those factors have sucked the fun out doing interviews increasingly over the past few months.

So now that I have explained that, let's talk about what's next for my future projects. I am working on publishing my first book (poetry) as an e-book in the fall or early in 2012. I am also working on starting two new online shows (one video and one radio) which will be based around music, entertainment news, current issues in the world, and many more things are both exciting and that I am passionate about. I am definitely going to keep my website Nicolepoetry.net and YouTube channel with most of my interviews up,YouTube.com/NicolePoetryDotComTV, and have absolutely no intentions of deleting them. If someone who is trying to succeed in the entertainment business really wants to do an interview with me they can still contact me through my website, I'm just not personally pursuing interviews at this time. Well that's it for now, be sure to check out my official website Nicolepoetry.net for all the latest news on me and for links to all of my social networking sites like Twitter.
