Anyone writes as a hobby?

[AbusedByFather]

Enjoying my collectibles and writing are the two things that keep me alive.
Anyone else writes?
Also, does anyone plan to do NaNoWriMo, and write a novel in November?
Thanks.

I write as a hobby, but I just do it for my own entertainment, I given up in showing it to other people a long time ago, because I'm not good at all and I never have enough time and/or energy to seriously work on improving my writing. I didn't really write anything this year, I had three ideas I wanted to work on: one was about WWII alternative history where Hitler didn't backstab Stalin, one was about a ragtag bunch of misfits surviving in a postapocalyptic world several years after a major nuclear disaster, and one was just about a (hypothetical) student exchange between USSR and USA in the middle of 1970s when the difference in culture was the most staggering. For sad political reasons I don't feel comfortable exploring any of these topics anymore, so I haven't really been writing this year.
What about you, do you want to write a novel? What is it going to be about?

And another about Satan being angry that every time he commits suicide he just stays in hell.

I used to write poems (cheesy romantic ones at first, then suicide related ones), but I havent since 2020 I think. Been a while, just lost all drive and energy to do anything really.

Yeah, I write poetry from time to time, although I haven't written anything recently.

I've written I don't know how many novels over the last eight years. Two have been published, but I really write them for myself and a handful of close friends.

What kinds of books do you write?

 

[Celerity]

Never heard of NaNoWriMo. I do write fanfiction very rarely. In recent years, I just have not come up with enough material on my own to write an original story. I wish I had started writing more years ago and feel like I have kind of missed the boat. My prose is bone-dry. Not a big fan of florid, purple prose, but I do enjoy lyricism to an extent, and my writing has none of that now.

They're all novels that relate to Sanskrit, India, and my native Canada.

That sounds very nice and very personal! I hope those books become successful!

I wrote a NaNoWriMo novel that I finally finished editing this year. Good thing too, because there's no way I'd be able to continue working on it in my current state. Writing has always been crucial to my identity.

I love to write, on here, with friends on discord, in a journal to my therapist, all of that. I blogged about my life for 10 years. I'm proud of some of my writing on there and elsewhere. I don't write fiction though. Just lost the knack for it around the age of 14. My actual life and self seems to interest me more than imaginary worlds.
