About Nichole
I am a writer. I write for a living. I write for myself. Once in awhile I write for others out of the goodness of my heart. I write fiction. I write ad copy and web copy and copy for the pop-up banners you probably have blocked on your computer right now. I write little letters and drop them in public places for people to find.
I graduated from university with a BA in English and live in a predominantly straight town in Northwest Indiana. I love being close to my job, but my living situation has not been kind to me romantically. You can’t really shop around Barnes & Noble hoping to meet the girl of your dreams… though I still try.
I enjoy console and tabletop gaming. I’m an RPG nerd, so laugh it up. I’m a cliché girl gamer. Sometimes it makes for interesting conversation. Sometimes I’d rather talk about a new recipe I’m trying or the latest YA novel I’m reading. I’m a Garth Nix fangirl. I can’t wait for Lord Sunday.
In January of 2008 I realized that a girl I was pining over would in fact never be mine. It tore me up, since I’m now back at square one.
I still rue the day I told her I love her. I should have known better than to tell a married woman that. And she shouldn’t have told me that she loved me back. We shouldn’t have said the things we did, felt the way we did, did the things we did. But it happened. It was probably meant to happen. I’m in the camp that believes things happen for a reason. Everything, no matter how small.
On January 18th 2008 I severed ties with her because it was the right thing to do.
I’m not strong enough to say that I have no regrets, because I do. Many, in fact, but one day I will find a woman who will give me the strength to scream to the world, “I regret NOTHING!”
I just have to find her.
