Written with XANAfication by Nichole
I was telling Rahsaan how I didn’t feel quite so guilty at having ravenously consumed way too many episodes of Code Lyoko over the last couple days. Did I need time off? Well, maybe and maybe not, but nevertheless I took the time anyhow. I’ve been working hard trying to find experience in everything, no [...]
Sorry Twilight lovers; I’ve been there too – Day 144

Written with a big "I'm Sorry!" by Nichole
I realize that I haven’t been 100% fair to Twilight fans, especially those who are head-over-heels for Edward Cullen. Twilight is not my cup of tea (and truth be told, I think the writing is tripe but to each their own), but I need to step back and quit criticizing all the girls and women [...]

Written with hot flashes by Nichole
Today was tied up in a bit of anxiety. I’ll leave it at that for now and quite possibly divulge later. Possibly. I didn’t write, which is bad, but I read a lot, which is good. There is never a wasted moment reading. Plus, I learned some new things and did a little research. Disconcerting [...]

Written with simple language by Nichole
In terms of NaNoWriMo that is only half the novel, but knowing that I’ve made it to 25,000 words makes me happy. I’m lucky to stick with a project for that long. Usually I abandon things, though I won’t count abandonment against me. Sometimes I come back. Most of the time I don’t. I was [...]

Written with with a glass of wine by Nichole
I continued In This Way I Was Saved and have about 20 pages left to finish, which I will do tonight before I turn in. I couldn’t finish it all before I had to leave for the evening, and even then our DM didn’t show. I wonder if he got lost in the perilous void [...]
On copyright, YouTube and forgiveness – Day 53

Written with a better appreciation for Creative Commons by Nichole
Today’s video contains what some might deem a spoiler for the book The Shack, so watch at your own risk. :) I ran into my first audio copyright violation on YouTube today, in which I had a 20-second clip at the end of today’s video with the Nina Gordon song “Now I Can Die” playing [...]

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 They would have to dump the contents of it out first. I guess they could always paint with it like some women do. in reply to ripsup 4 mins ago
