CClitgirl Interviews Tammyswallow
A HubPages addict shares some background behind her Hubbing interests
Tammy, Thanks for taking the time to chat with me. You write on a large area of subjects. First question: could you tell us about yourself and what you like to write about the most?
Hello! My name is Tammy and I am a Hubpages addict. I am a Paralegal by trade, now a stay at home Mom, and started writing on HubPages to supplement my income. I had no idea when I started how fun it would be and that I would meet so many wonderful people. This is a great place to be for any one who loves reading and writing on a variety of subjects. I have many interests in many subject areas. I love writing on subjects ranging from crafts, to social interaction, the paranormal, relationships, and saving money.
You have written about paranormal phenomena and you had Hubs in which you interviewed Barry Fitzgerald and Scott Tepperman from Ghost Hunters International. How did you become interested in this?
When I left home at 18, I moved into a duplex in Maryland. The first night I was there, I was watching television when I heard strange noises coming from the kitchen. All of the glasses in the cabinets were clinking as if they were tapping each other. When I opened up the cupboards, there was nothing there. Over the next few months, the activity progressed at a frightening and dangerous pace- from the piano playing in the middle of the night, doors slamming, to blood curdling screams emulating from the basement in the early morning hours. I didn't stay in this house, but I have been searching for answers ever since. I have been a follower of Barry Fitzgerald for a long time as he is one of the leading paranormal researchers in the world. I am an avid supporter of Ghost Hunters International.
What are your favorite things to write about?
My favorite subject to write about is vintage crafts and jewelry making and making beautiful things with an old fashioned flair. Outside of crafts, I like to write about the things that interest me that I can write passionately about. I especially love humorous subjects.
How did you find HubPages? What made you join and want to stay?
While searching the classifieds for a part time job, I came across an ad at my local unemployment office that said "work at home writing what you want." I looked into it and it was HubPages. I joined as it was a great opportunity to work from home while keeping my skills current. I stay because I really enjoy writing, reading interesting articles, and because the HubPages community is so warm. I have made some great friends along the way.
What is one thing you really want to do that you have not had a chance to do?
Great question! I have quite the bucket list. On the top I would have to say is world travel. I want to see the world, especially New Zealand and Ireland. Perhaps I will do this when I retire.
If you had the whole world watching you for five minutes, is there anything special that you would say or do?
Wow, great question! If I had five minutes of the world's undivided attention I would tell people in the world that we must try to love one another and the fighting and hate must end. I would tell the world that we all just need to relax and enjoy some heavy metal music.
Do you do any type of writing outside of HubPages? If so, what? If not, is there any type of writing you would like to try?
Outside of HubPages, I write poetry and screenplays. I am also a contributor to Text Broker where I write technical and travel articles. I would love to try to work in the field of photojournalism.
