Stephen 0:46Hello wordsmiths, welcome to fall, I can't believe summer's over. Hopefully all you writers out there got all your writing goals done in all your readers got all your reading goals done, because hey, we're into the end of the year now. We've got Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas, and then New Year's all coming up, bam. And before you know it, I know that's how summer kind of went for me. Bam, right? So today, we've got a special episode. Earlier, in the podcast run, I had someone on ran, who talked about mental health, and dealing with mental health and had written a book. This time, I've got another author who has been dealing with schizophrenia. And she has written a book about it to help others and her life struggle and what she's learned from it. So it's a hard subject. And a lot of times people don't want to deal with it and talk about it. But that's what we can do with our writing. We can bring these subjects to light we can bring them out and help others learn and become more comfortable about it. Because if you're more comfortable about it, you can talk about it. So Laurie has a lot to say about her book and schizophrenia in general. And we have a good discussion about it. So before I ramble on for too long, here's Laurie. Lori, welcome to discover wordsmith podcast. How are you doing today?
Lori 2:11Okay, how are you? Good.
Stephen 2:13And just of note to everyone that's watching the video, you're at the local library, they offer rooms, and you can rent to get video meetings and do these types of things. So I'm a big proponent of pushing the library. So it's good to see some things that the libraries do that people may not know about. So they have meeting rooms and all sorts of great things. Right. Laurie, tell us a little bit about yourself, who you are, where you're from, and what you like to do outside of writing.
Lori 2:44I am from I was born in Lawrenceville, Ohio. I've lived East I've lived West. But my favorite is the east side. I like the east side. And right now I live in South Euclid.
Stephen 2:58All right. What do you like to do besides writing?

With my book, I was able to create a book because every thing that have life experiences I've had in my life, I was able to make a book out of experiences that I've been through. And I love to write. Okay, that's how the book came about is I just had experiences that that were able to create a book.
Stephen 3:32When did you start writing? And then what made you finally start or want to write this book?
