I find the writing process to be exceedingly painful. (Fist bump if you agree.)

I've owned three businesses and will always carry a torch for the entrepreneurial experience.

I refuse to believe that print is a dying medium, and I plan to do whatever is necessary to keep the fire burning in my little universe. 

I am quality-driven. 

I'm old school.

I love lists.

Precise, effective communication is critical to personal and professional success. 

Writing is rewriting. 

Writing is child birth, editing is child rearing. 

"Kill your darlings." -William Faulkner

“I was already a fan of Michel's when I first hired her. I loved the style, creativity and whimsy found (where appropriate) in her work featured in local publications. When the opportunity to hire her presented itself, I was incredibly excited to find that she was available and willing to work with LXS Creative. 

Michel delivered that same style and creativity throughout every project she worked on and was a definite asset to the quality of our output as a design studio. Even as a contractor she was an integral part of our team, adapting her style and tone to fit a diverse clientele.”--LXS Creative

“I hired Michel Cicero based on a recommendation from a colleague and was immediately delighted with her personable demeanor and her creative thinking. I found it hard to convey what we needed out of our writers, but Michel was able to really take our project by the horns and run with it. After just one or two edits we were ready to fly. 

We still use Michel to this day with some of our social networking endeavours and she has never let us down.--Erin Sap, Cars 4 Cause
