About

Writer is, of course, the L. Long of which we speak.

About Writer:

• She loves to mess around with words, and dabbles in some of the finer art forms, like puns
• She likes to express herself in a way that elicits a smile!
• Except for words and grammar which she has invented herself, she’s a stickler for good grammar
• “If you’re going to say it, say it right!”
• Favorite author? (One of many) —Mark Twain
• Other languages? (Jack of all trades, master of none) —Very Low Austrian German, A smidgen of High German, Un peu de French, Ceva Romanian, and o leaca Moldovan. Even less Russian.

Thoughts on the English Language:

There’s nothing like the English language.
I love rolling it around on my tongue, savoring its delicate nuances.
I love playing with it, like a magician, whipping something out of a hat—a marvelous
expression or surprising word, and then another and another, each one different.
It flows easily, like a babbling brook, or like downhill skiing…swish, swish, so easily,
a few contours around moguls, carving just the right path to the destination. No
stumbling or groping, whittling out any word sculpture, molding any form, painting any
picture with a few precise strokes or with lavish detail. Praise, berate, admonish or describe,
all with the ease of a seasoned master.
