Hi, I’m Nicci.
And this is pretty much what I look like all the time.
I am, in no particular order, a writer, mom, educator, and community volunteer, with a love for math and a disdain for inequity. I also find myself hilarious.
I write articles, stories, and books that dig deep into complex emotions about family, motherhood, and what it means to exist in today’s society; here’s an example of one of my favorite essays.
My newsletter is my way of staying connected with readers while I work on my various projects, which range from writing novels to running a newspaper to chasing a toddler around while my tweens watch from over their devices.
With each note I write to you, I seek to provide a level of entertainment, empathy, and enlightenment - along with a healthy dose of levity.
Why subscribe?
If you’ve enjoyed what you’ve read so far, you’ll probably enjoy your subscription to Nicci’s Notes. Each Wednesday (more or less) I send a note that will take five minutes or less to read. In it, I share my take on what’s been going on that week - be it in the attempting-to-get-a-book-published world, the parenting world, or the world at large.
You can expect humor, but also a fair mix of the real emotions that come with being a woman, a parent, and an advocate in this time and place in history. In previous newsletters, I’ve ruminated on the topic of home and what it means to me, whether a mother can ever truly feel whole, and what it means to write descriptions that work to earn their place on the page.
I also share work from other writers and thinkers I respect, along with what is entertaining and enlightening me at the moment.
Oh! And there are freebies! Subscribers get deleted scenes and behind-the-scenes looks that I don’t share anywhere else.
