My name is Mary Lord. I am 42. I have an 8 year old daughter and 3 pets. I love to write and would love to write a book or something someday of the story, or rather stories of my life. I'm not sure how to get started, so I'm trying this out. I'm hoping to learn how to become a better writer through this. I am very good at all the "fine" arts, cooking, drawing, music, singing, and writing. Writing has always been my way of expressing myself. While I have a hard time explaining things to someone, I can express it through writing. Haven't written in a while or had anything published yet.
