About

i’m nicco,

 

20 years old, and studying the art of writing: creative, journalism, & professional. I  am originally from New Braunfels, Texas, but I  am currently living and going to school in Austin at St. Edwards University where I  am formally studying Writing & Rhetoric with a concentration in Creative Writing and a minor in Journalism.

my favorite author is Ray Bradbury–The Illustrated Man, Zen in the Art of Writing, Fahrenheit 451, Lang Leav–Sad Girls, Robert Frost, Ashley Dun… the list could go on. I made it a point last year to explore a plethora of different books, so I  have read a variety of different genres/periods and explored many different authors. I figure that it expands the mind and it gives inspiration for trying different writing styles. It is also very true that you are what you read.

I  am a pros editor for one of my schools literary magazines, and I love reading and helping other writers with their work, especially when they have braved sharing it with the world. that is something that I  am trying to achieve with this blog. I was never very keen on exposing my writing to critisism and prying eyes, but I  have learned that it is a very crucial part of becoming a writer.

my hope one day is to become a travel journalist and author.  for now I  am happy to be sharing my work here and hoping it will lead to something that will help me achieve those things I  think about all the time; dreams I  suppose.
