Written with lots of dreams by Nichole
I went to see Donna today after coming back from writing at Uptown Cafe to tell her that zinefest went well for me and that I really appreciated her letting me make free copies of my zine at her business. We talked for awhile and she asked me what my goals were, not just for [...]

I have a feeling there will me much schmoozing, which I’m up for. You [...]

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.
