| Introduction | Welcome to my blog! I'm a political scientist (BA, MA, and almost Ph.D. - if I had a job/scholarship to finish my looong research) who loves different writing experiences from academic writing to skits, essays, to children's books and political drama. This Writing Blog was given a lot of thought and it was born in Oxford-when I passed from practicing on paper to practicing online. I combine here creative with technical writing, the focus being on three writing formats (comment, essay, and review) and on three realms (cultural, political, and sport); writings in other formats are classified as 'uncategorized'. You're invited to give a thought to my point of view, even if our points of view may differ. Please feel welcome to comment online! And let's connect on Twitter @LaiWriter and/or on Instagram at Laura_Lai_Writer! I'd love this Writing Blog to add a cheer-up spice to our sometimes stressful daily life. Enjoy! |
| Interests | Writing and creative writing workshops; cinema & theater; museums' visitor & conferences/webinars organizer or attendant; (ancient) history& foreign languages; environment. |
| Favorite movies | I love watching both cinema films and TV series (e.g. 'Colombo', 'Matlock', 'Rex', etc.); animation films and black and white movies! I have a particular preference for movies based on legends or on researched true stories (e.g. 'The Queen', 'Titanic', 'Schindler's List', 'La Rafle', etc.). |
| Favorite music | I love all types of music from gospel to pop and Latino, less heavy rock. While I work and/or after a hard working day I enjoy listening to classical music, jazz, or relaxing instrumental music with birds sounds. |
| Favorite books | Literature realism is my very favorite (e.g. Balzac, Chekhov, Dickens, Flaubert, Gogol, etc.). I also like reading the memoirs of those who made/changed history. I love reading a theater play next to a cup of coffee, as well as reading and experimenting from my collection of cooking books. |
