This week, on the Romance Writers Weekly blog hop, we're asked the question, "What other hobbies do you have besides writing?"
Being the prickly wordsmith that I am, I'm giving that "other" some serious side-eye. Because writing isn't a hobby for me. If I'm feeling upset or emotional about something my first instinct is to write it down. To get it out of my system. Eventually, I'll probably want to alchemize those words and emotions into fiction. But whatever else it is, it's not a hobby.
Creating graphics and covers--that's closer to a hobby, but still not quite.
I think I approach cooking as a hobby (at least some of the time). Knitting is definitely a hobby, as well as embroidery (even though I haven't embroidered anything in YEARS). Gardening...that's not even a hobby; it's an occasional interest. I have A LOT of interests that don't quite make the commitment threshold for hobby status. And I satisfy most of those interests by giving them to my characters as activities/jobs/hobbies/etc.
I'm sure I engage in several more activities/interests that should qualify as hobbies, but where would it end? Is wine tasting a hobby? Is travel? Or exercise? Or reading? But I think I'll stop here.
Old Sins, Long Shadows
Children of Night, Book Two
Living forever is hard. Loving forever? Impossible.
Of all the mistakes Conrad Quintano has made, driving Damian away is the one that haunts him the most. He hates the fact that he's hurt the man he loves more than anything. For the sake of the twins, though, Conrad and Damian parent as a united front, a challenge that grows more and more difficult with each passing year. And with Conrad in his weakened state after his kidnapping, it grows more difficult than ever to be around the one man he can't have.
But an old enemy's mission to create a dangerous new breed of vampire threatens the twins' lives, and it's now more important than ever that the estranged lovers put the past behind them, or everything they hold dear might be ripped apart.
