Date: Thu, 14 Nov 1996 16:58:54 -0500 From: Caren Quintanilla Subject: FILLER, Intro to a new Writer What a great list you have going here! I'm Caren and I'm new to the list and to writing (well, not new to writing, only new to calling myself a writer). I currently (newly) reside in Middletown, RI and am freezing to death after spending the last 5 years in the tropics of South Texas and Guam. As you may have guessed, I am affiliated with the military (by marriage). The basic details go as follows: I'm 30ish; married for 10 years to a career Navy man;we have 2 sons (ages 8 and 6); I have a BBA in Finance and worked for a few years at various accounting -type jobs, which I discovered I hated, so now I work from my home in sales until I decide for sure what I want to be when I grow up (do you ever really decide?); when I'm not writing or attending to the above, I enjoy reading (naturally)--mostly fiction, mysteries, and (I confess!) various self-help/inspirational books, gardening, rubber-stamp art, and watching football. That's it in a nut-shell, the bare bones of my life! Caren (CarenQtoo@aol.com) ****************************************************************************** *******************
