Featured Writer

So I've decided to finally do something. So I've decided: feature a writer. From Figment.

So the first writer who came to my mind was Holden Meier. He's not too well-known. For a while, I thought he was a girl (I'm not the best at everything, ok? I'm really sorry Holden. Really). Then revelation happened.

But one thing was clear the whole time: Holden is a superawesometastical writer. I'd use other words, but I prefer to stay as clean as possible.

So to sum up what he writes (or what I read): plays and short pieces. And a novel in progress, I think.

But the most amazing are the plays. They are just heart-wrenching and funny and just so amazing. He manages to put a twist on pretty much any topic. It is all extremely deep and just... argh. So yes.

One of my favorites is "The Play's the Thing." In it, MC Sarah gets a very odd surprise. Here's Holden's description:


" It
 would be reasonable to assume that Sarah would never meet her idol William Shakespeare, since he hadbeen dead for over 400 years and lived across an ocean. It would be reasonable. But wrong."
 At any rate, you guys have to check it out. Not only that, but read it. And then sign up on Figment. And then "Heart" it, follow Holden, and start fangirling (or fanboying. Bit I don't know any guys who read this blog...) over Holden's work (then I'll have company. Sorry, Holden, I don't express fangirling too much any more).

Yupyup. See you guys after you've been transformed.


(And three(+) cheers for Holden, who's graduating/has graduated this year!)
