Written with hunger by Nichole
Much writing and editing this week has led me to the release of my sixth zine, the fourth issue in my perzine series Pieces. This one is on lucid dreaming. I think it’s pretty swank; hopefully others will agree. If anyone is interested in getting a copy of this issue, let me know by dropping [...]

Written with a big belly by Nichole
That pretty much sums up my day right there. I took part of the day off to go to the Chesterton farmers market, and then after meeting some of my friends up there, we went to eat Indian food at Taj. Greg owed me. I don’t mind being paid in food for the little things [...]

Written with with a shovel by Nichole
I’ve been bad with the videos lately. I guess I haven’t been in a video mood for some reason. That will change next week. Promise. Laundry list for today: cleaned, finished up Nine, read more of Maus (Rahsaan was right; it is one of the best comics I’ve ever read) and made vegetarian korma, which [...]

Written with a lot of soup by Nichole
Since I worked on Saturday, I took today to go to my parents’ house and make soup with my dad. I had a bunch of vegetable stock I made that I had to start using up, and I thought making a soup with my father would be the perfect thing. We love making soup together. [...]

Written with awesome by Nichole
I wanted to try something I’ve never done before, something new and exciting and in the vein of cooking. I’ve tired of making cakes. Cookies. Even different curries (and boy do I love curry).

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.
