Pushing My Wares: An Interview with Holly McRann

Returning to those long turned-over journalistic roots of my high school days, I recently had the privilege of talking to a colleague, Holly McRann, on the subject of the birth defect of her left hand.

While she confessed to being a little nervous at having to think about what to say, I never told her how nervous I was in interviewing her. With such a sensitive topic, I knew that I had to be well prepared. On the day of the interview, I was skittish and the armpits were humidifying my shirt. Despite the initial jitters, I found my voice and she found hers. Holly spoke with her down-to-earth plain speak and quirky sense of humour. I listened and then I wrote.

Thanks must go out once again to Holly McRann for helping me to get such a high from this stuff; as usual, the 'what-ifs' about my life and career kick in but I know that it's much more fun as a hobby than as a job. Check out amateur journalism at its finest here.
