Bucci Creates
Hi, I’m Nick—writer, traveler, and recovering blog-abandoner.
I’ve been in and out of blogging for years. Here I am again, hopefully sticking around a bit longer this time. I like to think of myself as a writer—though I haven’t been published much, I care about a well-told story, a good sentence, or even a solid ramble (like this one).
This blog holds me accountable. But it also gives me space to reflect, explore, and connect. You’ll find personal essays, travel stories, the occasional fiction piece, and a healthy amount of typos or unfinished thoughts. Sometimes it’s messy. Often it’s raw. Almost never heavily revised.
That’s the idea.
Where you’ll find me:
- Wandering around Europe for three months and nearly eating all the pizza (I tried).
- Reenacting Civil War battles in Chickamauga and Antietam.
- Writing anywhere from Maine to Europe — in my journal, on my laptop, and occasionally in notes apps at 1 a.m. — because I believe in capturing thoughts, not perfecting them.
- Planning future trips a little closer to home until I can travel again.
Travel sparked a renewed passion for languages—I’m slowly working toward conversational fluency in French, Italian, and Spanish.
What to expect:
I publish on Wednesdays. Most posts are free. But if you want a little more (extra stories, private reflections, and pieces I don’t feel like sharing with the entire internet), join Second Pass, my subscriber tier.
About the Membership
Second Pass is a monthly edition for readers who want closer access to my finished thinking. Each drop includes one revised essay, behind-the-scenes notes (sometimes an audio read), writing prompts, and a short list of what I’m reading (things I don’t share publicly).
If you’ve been reading Bucci Creates and want a quieter, more intentional version of the work, this is where it lives. It’s $5/month, written carefully, honestly, and without pretending I have it all figured out.
Cheers,
Nick
