I tried dctr_mccoy's first hobby suggestion and did some pie baking. It was fun, if messy, and the results were pretty tasty. I also got to spend some time with new friends, and that was great. So, in archaic subspace network parlance, "A++ would bake again."

While I'm writing, I thought I'd take a minute to respond to some of the write-in answers on my ( Read more... )

allmhadadh suggested writing poetry as a hobby, and since I'm still having trouble writing prose I thought I'd give it a try. Here's what I came up with ( Read more... )

Tina Chapel had pie on the brain. It had started with a semi-serious joke from dctr_mccoy, and the next thing Tina knew, she was discussing baking with two of the displaced actors on the Enterprise, Len and Bill. In the midst of all of this pastry talk, she was also chatting with the actors about their friend, Mr. Kelley, who was deeply depressed. Tina's ( Read more... )

haroldlee suggested that I write fills for prompts on original-fine's kink meme, so I thought I'd try that as my second hobby attempt (relax, dctr_mccoy. Pie is still on the list). I had jotted down a few prompts that interested me a while ago, so I took a look at them and started writing. I haven't had much practice writing fiction, though, so I'm still working on it.

I definitely spend too much time working, and I need to find ways to amuse myself beyond annoying dctr_mccoy (he makes it too easy, anyway). I've decided I need a hobby or something. So I thought I would try out some of the excellent suggestions that some of you left in my poll.
