Mood:  chillin'

This is my first blog entry with Angelfire.  My name is Carrie and I live in the eastern part of NC.  I am originally from upstate NY, more specifically the Adirondacks.  So, I am a mountain girl not a city girl, even though that is where I spend most of my waking hours in(aka work).  I've been married going on 8 years now and have a 4 year old son.  Since becoming a mother I've struggled with trying to keep some sense of balance in my life, namely with writing.  Writing is my passion; something I've discovered at the age of eleven and been doing ever since.  Recently I've been wanting to take it to the next level; hence, I've created an account with Angelfire with the goal of recording my failures and successes as a wrtier who desire to become a successful published writer.  I'd like to share my journey with whomever is interested and I am open to whatever advice, comment, etc. you would like to share with me.

Some of my challenges, other than time, that I constantly wrestle with are the fact I have some disabilites.  I have retinitis pigmentosa,  more specifically Ushers Syndrome Type II, in that not only I have gradual vision loss (peripheral) I am also partially deaf.  With being partially deaf I have struggled with grammar of which you may tell as you read my blogs and stories.  I am open for any corrections in my stories in my pursuit to further grasp and master the concepts of grammar.  I have no lack of imagination and I believe, as many have encouraged me, that I can be a successful writer.

I plan to post a new blog periodically, accounting my daily or weekly writing journey and hope to begin posting short stores as well as chapter for a  novel I have in mind (once I master this site).  I believe that the internet can be a great tool to use as a growing writer.

Hope to see you again soon!
