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 [...]
The writing journey thus far – Day 169

Written with a little help from my friends by Nichole
Rahsaan is one of my best friends, and as should be expected of all best friends, he grounds me. He isn’t shy to tell me I’m completely out or line or when to quit something, like ragging on myself. We are our toughest critics, everyone says this, but maybe I’m more than just tough on [...]
Finally, a new zine – Day 168

Written with writing on the brain by Nichole
I’ve gone a couple months without producing a zine. It’s sad to say the least, but at least the wait is over. Very soon the new issue of Pieces will be out and available to the public. It’s a different sort of zine in that it’s not recollections of my whole life, or even a [...]
Depressed? Go to church? – Day 164
July 22nd, 2010 introspection, starving artist, writing 6 Comments
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 [...]
Writing experiments with the Captain – Day 162
July 20th, 2010 starving artist, writing 4 Comments
Written with reflection by Nichole
That pretty much sums up my night last night. I wouldn’t call it a failed experiment, but it definitely wasn’t the success I was looking for. I got too easily distracted, only writing in odd intervals for five to ten minutes at a time. I attempted to initiate zine trades online. Then Rahsaan came over [...]
Camaraderie within open concept – Day 130
June 18th, 2010 friends, work, writing No Comments
Written with a sense of belonging by Nichole
Good memories of an open concept work environment. So, work today was nice. Laid back. I’m opening up and the people around me are opening up, which is exactly what I needed. Maybe the storm brought us together. It’s what I missed most about working in an office: the random noise of other people. I’ve [...]

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 7 mins ago
