I started Stephen King’s On Writing this evening after I got back from my parents’ house. We had a game night last night. Zach and Anne trekked up from their place and I came down from mine to meet half-way at my parents’. There’s always food. There’s always drink. I always end up on the [...]

I’ve lived in Valparaiso for almost 4 years, and today was the day I finally got my library card. I’ll be honest, I haven’t used a library since I was in college and that was five years ago. Just walking into one today, seeing all the shelves with books baring the mark of the Dewey [...]

Written with a little shame by Nichole
Rahsaan bought me a book today: Stephen King’s On Writing, a book that my mother had tried to get me to read many, many years ago. For some reason I never got around to it. Too busy. Always too busy. I think it was just an excuse. Now with this new chapter of my life [...]

Everyone. Thank you. Seriously, it means so much to me. I will be a little less cryptic tomorrow. Promise. :)

I’ve always enjoyed this song, starting when I first heard it in all its 16-bit glory back in ’95. I saw it performed live once when my sister, a friend and I all attended a PLAY! concert years back. There is just something behind it, some semblance of hope and spirit in the face of [...]

About Nichole the not-so-starving artist from Northwest Indiana
I quit my job to be a full-time writer! I'm also a web designer, gamer and a level 12 necromancer-in-training, sort of. I cook like a mo-fo and bake when the mood strikes me. Angel food cake is a specialty. I make choices in life by rolling percentile dice. TV is lame, so I watch Let's Plays. My iPod is filled with video game soundtracks. I support local commerce by shopping local and supporting the emerging artists in my community.
@ripsup I tried those once. I didn't like the decorative beads. That's why I switched the the BloodCup. in reply to ripsup 12 mins ago
