Hello there. 🤗 Welcome to vibe with me — a little space on the internet where I share my random musings (essays and reflections), fiction endeavors, and bits of poetry.
I’m Nicole and I’ve been writing since, well, I guess the first time I picked up a crayon. Or pencil. Look, I’m kind of old now and I can’t really remember, but trust me — it’s been a really, really long time.
I’ve been “blogging” on and off for years (the real ones know it all started with Livejournal back in the day: sorry (but also, thankfully) that has been erased from the internet). At some point, I… stopped sharing to the masses. I kept my writing close. Hidden in stacks of notebooks and folders and binders that litter my home office. No real reason for doing so, other than writing is a solitary practice and it was easier to just… keep it quiet. Not anymore, though! A couple of years ago, I decided it was time to get my words back out there. For me.
Most of my writing will always be available for free, right here on Substack. Paid subscribers might receive some bonuses here and there (diary entries, maybe a chat thread, or older posts that I’ve since locked away). The cash I earn from paid subscriptions go toward my craft exclusively, always. I’m extremely grateful for all my subscribers, regardless of which tier they select.
So, if you’re reading these posts, thank you. I’m thrilled you’re here to vibe with me and my writing.
Charcuterie, anyone?

How often will we vibe?
The vibes are pretty chill over here. I aim to publish a couple of essays/reflections each month, with some other content — like monthly reading recaps, fiction, poetry — sprinkled throughout. I’m not trying to spam you, but if the mood strikes, I’ll hit publish more. Fast and loose, baby!
The Substack app is pretty sweet too, and you can set it up to only get notifications in the app to cut down on emails. That’s what I do, since I subscribe to a ton of content.
