I capture life’s moments that make me self-reflect, laugh, cry, scream, be curious, draw me into the past, or pull me somewhere new that scares me. Sometimes I tell a story in six words, sometimes in thousands. People who read my stories sometimes laugh, cry, nod, reflect, swear, feel inspired, or ask for more. Sometimes they don’t. I hope that you do. Here are friend links to my stories. Mary:)

About Me

I’m an award-winning short story fiction writer, memoir writer, blogger and editor of the Six Word Photo Story Challenge publication — inspired by my original 6-Word Photo Story Summer Challenge writing prompt (2021) on Medium.

I’m also a parent, fitness enthusiast, and my friends tell me that I’m fun to hang out with because I make them laugh or encourage them to do things that they’ve never tried or didn’t believe they could do.

Fueled by cartwheels, laughter, and encouraging others to shine. Read her blog at www.marychangstorywriter.com
