"→ STATUS: On hiatus while I attempt to wrangle a workable schedule between my two jobs and my husband's work schedule."

Nichole.  25.  Librocubicularist.  Logodaedalist. Logolatrous.
Some do not suffer fools well.
I simply do not suffer fools. 

Our real discoveries come from chaos. (Palahniuk)
Find what you're afraid of most, and go live there. (Palahniuk)
Find what you love and let it kill you. (Bukowski)
May the bridges I burn light the way. (Dylan, BH90210)

  11. other information.
    • ALL OF MY WORK IS MATURE.  I will make no apologies for offended sensitivities.
    • I was interviewed once - by the lovely Cat_Monty.
    • Tidbits about me:  I have been married since November 2010.  I waitress, I read, I bake, and I write.  Twenty-five years on this Earth have given me an unshakable need to be elsewhere, which is one of the reasons I write.  I find words comforting and mysterious; they're tiny little portals into other worlds, other bodies, other lives.  I believe grammar and punctuation are the ways in which writers give respect to words, and I believe that to disregard these things is to offer disrespect to the act of writing.  I love food and good books and fire places/bonfires.  I gobble up TV shows and movies like oxygen.  I love word puns and dirty jokes.  I like late nights and sleeping in.  I like watching snow fall; I love listening to the rain.  I am complicated and emotional but we all are, in our own ways.  I don't "want to be a writer someday" - I AM a writer, SOMEDAY I want to be published.
    • ratings:
      • I am not offended by criticism - AT ALL.  Don't worry about my feelings; tell me what you really think.
      • But don't rate me down without a comment - it's rude and unhelpful.  Keep in mind: what goes around comes back around.
    • If you would like me to read something, feel free to ask. I do not mind reading something, but I WILL do it at my own pace and without apology - even if it takes me a long time.  You have to understand that I have a full time job, a husband, and a household to manage OUTSIDE of my own personal works, my collabs, and the reading list.
    • I might not read something if it isn't the kind of story that interests me, so please don't be offended - it's simply because unless I am interested, I will be a useless reviewer and what's the point in that? (The exception to this is if you've read and reviewed something of mine - in which case, I will FIND something of yours I can adequately review because fair is fair).
    • I would be glad to hear about a collab you're inviting me to, but please understand that I do juggle a number of my own projects, a full time job, and a marriage - so sometimes I simply don't have the time or energy to participate. 
    • I am always open to conversation - so feel free to chat.  If you need to talk about something, I'm here - even if we've never spoken before.  If it's private, you're welcome to email me via the website and I will get back to you right away.
    • current goals:
      • complete final draft of Wetwork: Book I 
      • complete manuscript for ABNA Contest, in January.
      • complete Atlas of Atlantis, Edge of Heaven, and at least one other collab.
      • send Wetwork: Book I out for publishing submission to 5 places:  [00 / 05] 
  12. reading + critiquing.
