Are there any other people on the forum who consider writing a serious hobby?

If so, what do you tend to write?

Not only a hobby, I plan to make it my career. I'm not published yet, but I recently finished my second novel, my first serious attempt at a sci-fi story but a different kind of sci-fi. The last novel I wrote was a prison story. I guess you'd call what I write contemporary fiction because most of it can't fit in any one genre becasue they tend to have a little bit of everything, comedy, adventure, mystery, drama, etc.

Nice! I'm an essayist. I've been published a few times, but my main project is still in the works.



I also want to start kind of a writer's exchange.

I'm a hobby writer but have been published frequently.

Some op-ed letters were actually guest columns.




But most of my published work has been magazine articles on nudism, many under the title "Nude Attitude." This was in the '80s & '90s and I have been published in nudist magazines all over the world. (One article was translated into Dutch)

Oh, 3 of my gay male porn pieces were published in "HandJobs" magazine.

Your best Chamber friend is a writer. Maybe you two should hook up and brainstorm together.

Oh, god. Please don't tell me you're referring to who I already know you're referring to...

Also, Shale: SUCCESS. Daddy writes porn. Roar.

Yep. Don't be like that. You two could have a very productive relationship. I, for one, would love to read it.




In any case, I used to write. I don't enjoy doing it, but it's funny because a lot of times, I have very vivid dreams and sometimes a story or some kind of plot plays out in them. I keep saying to myself one day I'm going to wake up and write down what I dreamt and maybe parlay that into writing something. I just don't like to write though.

It'd probably end up in the True Crime section. Haha.

I'm in school for Communications and Media Writing. I would love to be television script writer.

I really want to start up an exchange.

I love writing! And like Supernova, I plan to make a career of it. I had no idea there were so many other writers in this forum besides you-know-who, lol. I write poetry and mostly absurdist short stories. I did write one novel, but it's such a piece of garbage I haven't looked back on it. I have had a few poems published though in various publications.

Your avatar makes me VERY, VERY happy.

Why thank you! I just started getting back into his music after many years, and I always thought that that was an adorable photo of him.

Yeah, I'm a serious writer for a hobby. I like to write character-driven dramatic stuff. Didn't know this place had anyone sides Supernova who got into Creative Writing. Yah, I'd love to be part of a writer's thing.

I will vouch for my Lil Bro, I have read some of his writings and they are not bad.

Thanks! I suspect by skimming some of the responses that maybe I'm the subject again?

Ya think maybe a story should be written about you????

So, how should we go about this? (For those who want to participate).

One person submits a short piece each week and we all workshop it?

Yes. Maybe Chris can set up a separate forum for it.

Has anyone checked? Is Chris still alive?

Sounds like the start of a murder mystery.

What do you want to call the thread I will ask Chris if he will set it up.

Feeling the way he does I am sure he is sound asleep.

Chamber Writer's Workshop?
