Written with sexy graphics by Nichole
This morning I spent a couple hours fine-tuning edits for “Will,” which included completely axing 2,000 or so words. I like to be concise; I like leaving things up to the reader. Not everything, but a lot of things. Next comes all the smoothing, tying the loose ends and making sure it works the way [...]
Thinking, inking and watercoloring – Day 179

Written with feelings by Nichole
When I have something to think about, something scary or difficult, I want to make things. And the things I want to make usually fall into the vein of visual art or strange music. I write, yes—I’ve been journaling in a paper journal perhaps a bit too much lately—but it’s only during these times when [...]
Depressed? Go to church? – Day 164

Written with questions by Nichole
I didn’t feel very warm and fuzzy after my appointment today. To be honest, I felt downright miserable. I don’t think I’m making much progress. If anything, I feel as though I’m regressing. Whether or not that’s normal, who knows, but it’s making me ask why I’m going in the first place. I just sit [...]
Guilty – Day 146

Written with guilt by Nichole
I have a horrible habit of feeling guilty. When I’ve done things to hurt others, I feel guilty, and rightfully so. However, I feel guilty for many things I probably shouldn’t even feel guilty about. This week is a good example. The place I’m contracting for had given me this past week off, and so [...]
Avoidance – Day 139

Written with feeling by Nichole
I like when I’m busy because I don’t have the time to think about things that bother me. Being busy is great though, and being busy stirs all the happy in me, coating my insides with that warm, cozy feel-good feeling. I imagine it like warm chocolate drizzled over vanilla ice cream. Cherry on top. [...]
The world is my new gym – Day 136

Written with sore quads by Nichole
In typical Nichole fashion, I’ve been feeling guilty about not going to the gym these past couple weeks. Middle of the day (around lunchtime) was my time to work out. I was awake enough from the morning, but not yet tired from the evening. It was a great balance. However, since starting my on-site web [...]

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 13 mins ago
