Date: Thu, 30 Jul 1998 03:24:11 EDT From: Dina House Subject: [WRITERS] BIO: Filler: My name is Dina Hi there! My name is Dina. I live in a small town in the northcentral part of Montana called Shelby. I have belonged to this list for over a year. I used to sub a lot, but I have been in lurk mode for a very long time. I was having problems with my depression, and now I think I have a hold on that. The pills work really good. I have never had problems with depression before, and I have to say that it scared me to death. Anyway, I am married, have 3 kids, 1 momma cat, 6 kittens, and one fish. I was born August 12, 1967, and I really didn't have a problem turning 30. My friends just went crazy turning 30.... Oh well, my mom always told me I was different! I have been writing since I was 12. It was my only way out. I am a "stuffer". I stuff all my feelings way down deep and when I need release, I write. I have everything that I wrote and some of it is good. Some of childish, and dreamy. I like to write poetry, but I would like to write a book. When Jane's book came out, I had to buy it. I read it, and that made me want to write, it was a very good book. I cannot believe some of the stuff that happened in people's lives, it makes my problems seem so small! Anyway, I guess I am writing this to get back into the swing of things. I came across something tonight that I wrote while I was at work. I work at a nursing home, and I love it there. I don't know where to go with it, but perhaps when it is finished I will sub it. I am very much looking forward to coming back here and getting back into reading and I am going to try critiquing, but I am afraid I am not too good at that. Anyway, I am back and hopefully out of lurk mode for awhile. Love, Dina
