“Words, words, words.” — Hamlet, Act 2, Scene 2.
I’ve always been in love with words.
As a child, I was an avid reader, but it wasn’t until high school (many decades ago) that I wrote my first piece, a one-act play about Cinderella set in modern times. I still have a copy of it!
After a long hiatus involving college and parenthood, I started writing again, and now I can’t seem to stop.
In fact, I’ve been writing so much that I recently found myself with not one but TWO writing websites. This was confusing for my readers, as well as for myself, so I’ve just merged the two sites. Now, whether you use the old url (loristory.wordpress.com) or the newer one (loribonati.com), you’ll end up here.
In addition to still being able to read all of my old WordPress blog posts dating back to 2016 (lucky you, especially if you have insomnia!) you’ll now have access to a few I’ve never posted here before, as well as all of my future blog posts. For example, you’ll see:
-
An account of my experiences when I was Teaching Kids About Poetry.
-
A five-part series that’s guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat, or at least in your seat. It’s about my move from Arizona to New York, and it’s called (I’ve Got A) New Latitude.
-
A mini-series about a not-so-comfortable-but-I’d-do-it-again three-day cross-country train trip, Train Tracker. (P.S. Hyphens are my friends.)
You’ll still be able to view my Photos, and you’ll find a few new tabs (Books, Honors, News, and Services.
As always, thanks so much for subscribing and reading my “words, words, words.” I’m so glad you found me here, and I hope to hear from you soon!
Great idea Lori!

I was born and raised in Burlington, Washington. About 80 miles north of Seattle. My grandmother spend most of a childhood on Lopez Island. The Salish Sea is pretty close to that area. I’m hoping you had a lot of fun out there.

I did. We spent most of our time on Whidbey, Camano, and Vancouver Islands last time. Thanks for stopping by!

Whidbey Island! Yes, that was my home away from home. Did you walk across Deception Pass Bridge? That’s always a must. You are bringing back memories. 🙂

No, I didn’t walk across the bridge … but I did take lots of pictures there. I’ve just put one on my Photo page (it’s the last one in the June, 2017 group). There are more photos of Whidbey Island in my e-book, Standing in the Surf (shameless plug).

I use to date a girl, way back in another lifetime. We went all over that island. They were making a movie out there. I remember her and I somehow found our way around the actors trailers. The trouble we got in to. 🙂
