Almost There's Holli Anne

If you are a regular reader of this blog, you may have heard mention of some girl named Holli starting to blog on here…and you may have thought to yourself something like, "Wait, I thought this blog belonged to that chick Tyler?" Well, it does, but now I'm joining in the fun, and I couldn't be more excited about it.

While I've introduced myself briefly on the About page, I thought it'd only be fair to give you a more thorough introduction.

So Hi, I'm Holli, a 20-something freelance writer and blogger from the south. 

My background includes a Bachelor's in Journalism with a minor in Photography and for some reason, a masters degree. 

Like Tyler, I worked on the same college newspaper as a reporter, News Editor and Editor, but we weren't really friends that spent time together back then. Now we are bestie boos who talk everyday.
After graduation, I took a job working as a reporter and then News Editor of a local newspaper before deciding to go to grad school.

During grad school I learned one really important thing: I just want to be a writer.

So now, that's what I do. I live a fun, creative life and I write about it. I also write about a bunch of topics for a bunch of different people, and it's great.

I am definitely in that almost stage of life. I'm almost married (March 9), and I almost have a house. 

Besides writing, I spend my days crafting projects, cooking food, thrift store shopping, Pinteresting and hanging out with my dog Charley. 

I'm joining Almost There (besides the obvious fact that I just love Tyler) because I really believe in its purpose: being "there," living creatively and dreaming big.

About Me

I realized I hadn't exactly made a post about me and what it is I do and what it is I want to accomplish with this blog. My About  covers a tiny portion of that but I decided to use this post to expand a bit.

So here we go!

My name is Tyler and I'm in my 20s. 

I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Design, Technology & Industry with a Creative Writing minor.

I was a part of my university newspaper for four years. I was News Editor, Editor in Chief and copy editor through those years. 

After college I started Social Spaz and started to freelance as a social media consultant & manager to help businesses reach a larger online audience. 

Now I work with several businesses as their social media consultant & manager. I also freelance as a graphic designer, web designer and professional blogger.

I started Almost There because I have an immense love for everything creative. DIY projects, home décor, graphic & interior design, typography, unique fashion and Pinterest-worthy pursuits are my passions! (I also have an insane amount of books!) I wanted a place to not only share these interests but also catalogue my growth as a creative!

Currently I live in a tiny apartment with Dude & my very dog-like cat Milo. Even though I don't have my dream space, I love to dream big but also come up with creative, inexpensive projects to make what I have something I love.

I plan to keep blogging with Almost There and hope that I inspire other creatives, whether or not they are living their dreams or still working to reach them!

 (By the way, Milo is a blue tabby. So that's pretty cool, no?)
