What is your hobby? Okay to be specific.

I love to write. I have one published book. (didn't make money, just had loads of fun creating the story)
I have a section on my computer where I hold my poetry. I just want to know what you feel; what thoughts or pictures do you see or hear.
My focal point to becoming creative is use of nature. Nature plays a huge part. And when you listen it can make birds sing.

I did begin a writing... completely nothing I tried before. Of a child beaten and abused with such severity... when I asked opinion of a friend... emailed it to him... He immediately assumed I was being abused. And later after I explained, he told me he was so very close to calling the police to see if I was okay.
*Again this style is nothing I would ever read. But one day I started typing and it spilled out.

I am a published writer of two books, articles and short stories. I do not consider writing to be a hobby. It is a job if one is truly working at it.

@Xena1234, I too write. It began as a notion many years ago likely based on my own love of books. The words were dancing in my head and demanding to be released. As I typed more thoughts continued on to to create my next scene.
I will listen to a new song on the radio and I hear words in my head creating a new poem. I am emotional. It's not a hardship for me. It has become my cloak in which I often hide. I am okay as long as my cloak is near.
