When I joined, I assumed that the name I put on my poetry was the name I should use here. So I put Lori Jones McCaffery. After being here only a few days, I realized many people had created pen names for themselves and I wished I had done so too. Too late to go back and change my name on everything I've posted, but that's OK.
However, when someone sends me a nice compliment, they often use the whole name too.Kinda makes me feel like a school marm or something. I'm not at all a formal person. I'm at the other end of the scale, so please one and all, feel free to call me Lori. It'll be easier for you to type and make me feel more like "one of the gang".
