Jennifer likes pina coladas, sushi, and getting caught in the rain... but she doesn't need rescuing. Some might say that she's already found her inner Ogre. When not chained to the keyboard to exorcise the characters in her head, she can be found playing in the dirt with green things, concocting strange potions out of green things, and riding her recumbent bicycle (it's a cool machine, but small recompense for not being able to mountain bike anymore).

A large thanks to Dave Wood Photography (www.davewoodphotography.com) for the use of his 'Sisterhood of the Travelling Socks' picture for my icon. Dave has some damn-sexy legs, I must say.

It's funny how important music is to my writing. I have songs that I associate with different moods, or individual stories. They help me to keep characters separate if I'm writing more than one story at a time. And sometimes I like to have music playing softly in the background to keep me motivated. That was how I used to study for tests, too, in school. It just seemed to sink in better that way.

Quotes by Jennifer Thorne  (?)

“Control was antithetical to life. To be alive is to be battered about. To endure and adapt and keep stumbling onward despite it all.”
Jennifer Thorne, Diavola

“There were moments often, when she felt her presence as a question mark, the very purpose of her existence a debate for others to freely take up.”
Jennifer Thorne, Diavola

“You don't want to be alive. You want to be in control." Control is antithetical to life. To be alive is to be battered about. To endure and adapt and keep stumbling onward despite it all.”
Jennifer Thorne, Diavola

“If you were all alone in the universe with no one to talk to, no one with which to share the beauty of the stars, to laugh with, to touch, what would be your purpose in life? It is other life; it is love, which gives your life meaning. This is harmony. We must discover the joy of each other, the joy of challenge, the joy of growth.”
Mitsugi Saotome

“Don't be discouraged by a failure. It can be a positive experience. Failure is, in a sense, the highway to success, inasmuch as every discovery of what is false leads us to seek earnestly after what is true, and every fresh experience points out some form of error which we shall afterwards carefully avoid.”
John Keats

“The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom.”
Isaac Asimov

“If A is a success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut”
Albert Einstein

“If a cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind, of what, then, is an empty desk a sign?”
Laurence J. Peter
