Kids, it must be Wednesday, because here we are again! It occurred to me that, since we featured Mary last week, it would be very nice to spotlight the Other Mary this week. Yes, Mary Bach, of Writing in the Bachs, is here. Mary is another long-time member of Poets United. Pull your chairs closer to the screens, pour a nice creamy latte with lots of foam, and let’s take a walk with the Bachs!
Poets United: Mary, I have been curious to ask: is there a story behind your name Other Mary?
Mary: When I started ‘Writing in the Bachs’ and linking in to Poets United, I used just my first name, Mary, but I soon found there was someone else called Mary who turned out to be Mary ........ She contacted me and we decided it would be confusing for us both to link in with the same name. So as she had seniority, I would change. Seeing as I was quite literally the ‘other Mary’ I figured that would be a funny, if not terribly creative, name. That’s how I became the Other Mary.
