Lori loves to laugh and thinks that life should be fun. Thinking is so delicious to her that she says "Mmmm..." after a particularly tasty thought.
She prefers to write in short format and feels that fewer, better words can create greater impact. She also follows the very sage advice of an author you may have heard of:
"If you stuff yourself full of poems, essays, plays, stories, novels, films, comic strips, magazines, music, you automatically explode every morning like Old Faithful. I have never had a dry spell in my life, mainly because I feed myself well, to the point of bursting. I wake early and hear my morning voices leaping around in my head like jumping beans. I get out of bed quickly, to trap them before they escape."
– Ray Bradbury
