: About Me

Wow! I just relised that it's been ten years since the first time I was published. I've been published many times since then, mostly in magizines, both big and small.

My given name is Holly, although to my friends I'm Hobbit. I'm 23 years old. I live in ohio with my husband Scott. We're expecting our first child, a girl, in Nov.

Did I mention that I'm also a photographer? Both photography and writing are my passions. I first got interested in photoraphy at age seven, writing at nine. I love both equaly, I could never choose just one!

I'm very critical of my 'work' though. Although I'm sure that everybody is of their own. I don't think of either of them as work amazingly enough. Sure I might get paid for it sometimes, but I do it for the joy of doing it. I veiw both of my passions as something fun, and a way to express myself.

My passion is ...

Writing & Photography.

I know too much about ...

Body Language.

My parents always told me ...

You'll never amount to anything!

My childhood ambition ...

Was to amount to something big.

My favorite memory ...

Was my 13th birthday. I recived my first check and an issue of a teen magazine that's published all over the world. Inside of that issue was an article that I wrote, and a picture that I shot.I was SO exicited, it was the first time I had ever been published.

Why I write ...

I write to let my thoughts out of the confinement of my mind.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

I'm reading this question, and watching myself type. I'm also listening to my favorite band, The Offspring.

My first job ...

Well my very first job ever was raising my baby brother. After that my first job was being a newspaper girl.

My best moment ...

My 13th birthday. Also, every time afterwards when I have had something published.

My inspiration ...

Honestly, my insperation is to share my work with the world. Also to prove people wrong, show them that I can achive anything I belive.

There was once a time before cell phones. They just simply didn't exist. That didn't mean that the whole world was amiss. People just made their calls from home, or if they were out they found a pay phone. You did your errands, and then made your calls, rather then holding up the line at the strip mall. You listened to the radio while driving, or the hum of the road. No need to be gabbing, while others were calling you a toad. You had more time to spend freely, and if you didn't want to talk you just ignored the phone. No one had to know weather or not you were actually home. You didn't wo...
