Fiorella vs. Contact Sports

Fio is opposed to all professional--and college--contact sports. She thinks all games should be amateur, played for the sake of fellowship and running off energy rather than winning. When winning becomes the goal, emotions of players and fans run too high, opening  the door to enmities, grudges, and riots, not to mention betting, bribery, and cheating.

That's where Fiorella stands, and she's standing firm.

Late NIghts

Ah, for the leisurely life of the writer--or the leisurely life Fiorella THOUGHT writers had. Now that she's about to become a professional on the national level, she's staying up way too late with a laptop across her knees.

Your Fio has been a professional writer for a long time, penning news stories and features for local newspapers and magazines who paid her a mere pittance for her labors.  Now she hopes to crash the big-money scene.

If she can stay awake.
