I loved reading this, Mary. You did such a beautiful job putting this together, and it was a delight to learn a little more about you! I've been meaning to put together an about me for awhile to put together one of these that extends beyond bullet points, but it's not always the easiest to write about yourself (more proof you're a writer.)
I've also been meaning for awhile to put together a "meet our writers" section to the publication, so that pieces like this can have a better home. So far I've found shockingly little up to date information about publication editing, and Medium doesn't make the system there the most user friendly lol. But hopefully I'll find a better place for this piece soon, because it deserves it. Thanks for sending this in!!
