   Figuring It Out's Blurbs
About me:

Welcome to the official website for Figuring It Out. This book is my personal story of recognizing and accepting my sexual orientation and coming out as gay - as expressed in my journals and other writing over the course of 9 years.

Find the book on Amazon by clicking HERE. Or search on Amazon for "figuring it out n.s.b.", or by its ISBN: 9780979216305.

Also available as an electronic download at Lulu.com.

follow-up book - Admission
A collection of self-reflective essays. Available for purchase at Lulu.com. This was a month-long project, 100 pages long. A snapshot of my inner workings that picks up two years after Figuring It Out.

Who I'd like to meet:

You! I started this project to share my experience with the hope that it will make others feel less alone and more understood, and to inspire empathy in those who have not had the experience themselves.

who YOU should meet:

BIANCA REAGAN - she's not gay, but she supports it. Plus, she reviewed the book! Check out her incredibly socially and culturally relevant (and entertaining) blog and MySpace page:

Hey just wanted to let you know one of our youth told me last Wednesday that she really enjoyed reading your book even though she doesn't usually like reading that much. She said she could really relate to it and has passed it along to a friend. Yay =)

Hi, Nicole.. :]

I've been meaning to write to you for a while now. I finished your journal a couple days ago and I wanted to say that it truly inspired me to be myself and take a closer look at how hard it really is to come out to people as homosexual or bisexual. I never really thought about it before because I assumed that everyone was happy to be the way that they were and were confident because that's the way that I am. Wow, I was wrong. Soo many people have serious problems telling people and accepting it. I thank you for giving me an inside look on how hard it really can be for some people and in other cases how dangerous it is for other people. I hope that you keep writing because people need to know what it means to come out and live a life that is complicated at times simply because people don't understand how it feels to be homosexual/bisexual.Thank you for publishing your journal. I understand that it was hard enough for you to tell your closest loved ones and how hard it must've been to publish it out in the open. I take my hat off to you, if I were wearing one ;]. Keep being you, bless you.

Coincidence or serendipity? I randomly found Lulu last night--never heard of it before. Then I randomly (ok, not so randomly, I *did* look in the gay and lesbian book section) found "Figuring It Out". And then I read it, beginning to end. I identify as bisexual...but that gets questioned quite a lot. I'm figuring it out, too. It really does make a difference to know that other people have gone through and go through the same things that I do. Thank you so much for sharing your journaling! :) Greta

You're welcome for the review. The problem is fixed. It was gunky build up in the pipes downstairs. Apparently not as bad as it could have been, according to our maintenance person. It was bad enough for me, though.
