Hey there. This is UNUSUAL FICTIONS, a sporadic newsletter from Jess Nickelsen. |
Happy January! We are in the middle of summer now (at last!) which means lots of pool time, gardening, eating with friends, feral children (it’s still school holidays), and wandering around in pyjamas at all hours of the day. Despite all of this I have managed to hit a few big milestones that I’m happy about. I’m still figuring out what I want to focus on in the year ahead, but generally speaking they include:
new cool things
reading
linksI’ve started saving web links to are.na! Some of my highlights include:
the blogI know I always say I want to blog more frequently, and so far I’ve been doing a fair bit of reflecting on the past year, and contemplating 2024. Pretty much like the entirety of humanity. We are so cyclic, aren’t we? We love beginnings and endings.
the booksAs always, if you’re interested in further supporting my writing you can find my wee books either in my ko-fi store or via my Amazon Author page. Anyhoo, thanks again for subscribing! I’d love to hear from you about anything. Just hit reply, or email hello@jessicanickelsen.com. Until next time, Jess |

Issue #9 Hey there. This is UNUSUAL FICTIONS, a newsletter from Jess Nickelsen. Greetings from nearly-December! Here in NZ we're getting tantalisingly close to summer. It's amazing how a bit more light in the mornings, and the odd sunny day, does so much to lift the spirits. That said, we’re currently in the middle of a polar blast coming up from the south, which means despite the sunshine it’s still woolly sweaters and socks in bed territory round here. We all got our flu jabs this year, but...
Issue #8 Hey there friends. Long time no email! Life has been...ah, you know the story. I've been writing, but the newsletter unfortunately fell by the wayside a little. So here we all are in 2023. Already it's shaping up to be better than the last couple of years, which I suspect everyone is quite happy to leave behind. I'm trying to get back on track with everything after the summer holidays here in NZ; work is ramping up, term one is, well, done, and we're heading into autumn now. new cool...
