Such EXCITING NEWS AH! My story “It’s Okay” (pub by @bloodhoneylit.bsky.social ) has been nominated for an Outwrite Scary Award in 4 categories! It would mean the WORLD if you could vote for my work! And if you haven’t the link to vote and to read it are in my linktree linktr.ee/WillowNichol...

My wife is an artist and she’s been making me mii’s in Tomodatchi life and so far I’ve made her make - the live action version of the grinch -the mask -Willem Defoe’s version of the green goblin Next up is Alf, the live action cat in the hat, and a biblically accurate angel.

Endings that live rent free in my head

Authors, it’s time to go back to hand writing our books. This time, though, we must use ink infused with our very blood so there is no doubt it was created by us and us alone. Artists, you must also use blood. Sorry, I don’t make the rules 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’m so honored to have received the Boston Writers of Color Literary Award. My heart is so full of love and every day I’m shown how much community and hard work matters. I wouldn’t be able to do this without your encouragement and support 🫶🏽 I’m gonna go explode with excitement now

My wife got that game where you can make mii’s interact and while she was playing she said “sir,what do you need?” I wasn’t watching and thought she was talking to our cat, so I said “is he eating your toes again?” I looked up and realized she was talking about the Mii of Rupaul that she made

I GET LOGGED OUT. BUT I LOG IN AGAIN

I finally got my DNA results after waiting for so long and I am so pleasedddd. No long lost family but I’m made of very cool stuff

Sweet boy is very mad that we woke him up early

My wife and I are traveling to our hometown to see my grandma and mom. I checked the cameras FIVE minutes after we drove away and my cats somehow found a ball of yarn which they then ripped apart, zoomied all over it, and then fell asleep

In fact, I am SO excited that I was trying to write “in the courtyard” for one of my stories, and I wrote “in the cork board”

Just got ridiculously amped at work because I remembered that the cork boards I ordered for my serial killer-esque story mapping are waiting for me at home. (And also a to-do pad, I am so excited and this is apparently what brings me joy now)

Lately, every time I get an idea for a story my brain has been yelling “Mr.Kraaaabs I have an ideaaaauuhh”

Man, I love workshops

Punching the air happily because I just got the nicest compliment from my Grubstreet instructor and I’m gonna think about this constantly now

I got my mom and my grandma ancestry kits because I selfishly want to fill out my family tree more

BIG NEWS! My story “Ethereal Creatures” will be in Cosmic Horror Monthly’s June issue, so keep an eye out for that! June is going to be such a fun month! So excited to see all of my Stoker Con people, and very excited for this story to finally be out in the world.

Y’all, how the hell are you getting all the books you buy at StokerCon back home?

The world is so small. My family has bounced all over the place, but I just found out my great grandfather was born in the town next to where I live now. I also found out my great great grandfather had a sick mustache and died on my birthday

Awesome news!! I have a micro horror coming out in Flash Phantoms on June First! 🕸️ They published my first micro horror TEETH a little over a year ago, and I’m so happy to have another story be picked up there!

Thinking about the time I had a wisdom tooth pulled while awake and I didn’t think to close my eyes so I just watched the whole thing. When he was done I reached for my tooth like I had just birthed a child and he thought I wanted a fist bump. That day SUCKED but it was worth it for that interaction

I love when I’m walking home and I catch a snippet of someone’s conversation. Today’s was “You know that gay cowboy movie?”

I have an idea for a story!!! My non-existent career isn’t over!!!

In the middle of a seminar with my mic on and I got a phone call. This is my ringtone by the way

Guys do I go see Fight Club tonight? I don’t think I’m gonna be able to convince my wife to come before they aren’t showing it anymore lol

I have a screenwriting seminar tomorrow morning, and after I will be attending an all day (and late night) horror film festival for my job. Did I say I love it here? Because I do

It was Hokum and it genuinely scared me y’all. It’s not often that I get a movie that pin points my fears and this one got me!! Definitely worth a movie trip once it comes out!

Scream unseen at AMC tonight! Hoping for Hokum

This is what it felt like accidentally setting the alarm off at my job earlier

This is what it’s like trying to explain to my wife who has never seen either movie that they are separate entities

When I was in high school my history teacher made us watch There Will be Blood over multiple classes. I just showed it to my wife and she said “why the fuck would he show that to you?” Mind you, it wasn’t even an American history class. Oh, high school.

Hoping and praying that I can put off the rest of my wisdom teeth extractions until after Stokercon. I’ve already put it off for years and years (hence why I had to have an emergency extraction a while ago) but the problem was it took me out of work for half of the month because I got REALLY sick.

The third Mario movie should be a straight adaptation of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead but with Wario and Waluigi.

I abandoned my Wii at my childhood home and I miss it everyday. BUT I did get an emulator to play Spyro: Seasons of Ice because I’ve also been missing my game boy color (I quite literally have no idea where it ended up, I hope it’s happy)

Faces of Death was great! We went to Scream Unseen and it was a pleasant surprise! Not a huge fan of slashers but it was great

Super Mario Galaxy movie tonightttt. We picked the latest showtime so there’s only 3 other people who booked tickets so far 🎉

My wife and I were doing crosswords last night and we couldn’t remember the name of Fred Flintstones friend, so we googled it. The photo that Google AI picked for the top result had me in tears

Update: only 4 spots left! If you’re thinking about registering, now is the time!

*cough, cough* calling all Boston, Salem, North Shore people www.cinemasalem.com/movie/cinema...

My wife and I decided to become AMC A-listers because we were going bankrupt trying to see all of the new releases. This spring and summer are STACKED with great movies and I will be so sat for every single one. We saw The Drama last night!

60 days until StokerCon! Who will I be seeing there?

Silently dropping this here for my BIPOC writers because it’s not often that multi week workshops are free at Grubstreet!! I registered! (Also you don’t need to be local to Boston) grubstreet.org/workshop/aut...

My wife and I are going to see Forbidden Fruits at 10:30pm. I’m very excited but also 99% sure I’m gonna fall asleep before the trailers are over

I had a dream that a bunch of you blocked me and I just want to know what I did

I wanted to share this before Women’s History Month is over ✨ give these awesome writers a follow and share to help introduce them to new readers! If you’re a horror author and don’t see your name on the list, reply to this to be added 🫶🏽
