--Is writing your passion or just a fun hobby?
I...don't actually know how to answer this one? Can't a fun hobby also be a passion? I know a lot of people who are incredibly passionate about things that are "just" hobbies... I mean, I suppose the question is asking, in an abbreviated form, if writing is something you could put down and walk away from and pick up a different hobby. In that case it's probably more of a passion for me? I've thought about picking up other things to do in my spare time that are easier to talk about with my students or on Facebook, and I always end up deciding they cut too much into my writing time, sooooo... :)
Speaking of which, writing has been fairly good? I'm distracted by some Yuletide letters/prompts I've seen but keeping that at the planning stages rather than the writing stages right now. Planning to settle in and write for a few hours this afternoon once I finish class prep! How about you?

Writing has been absolutely dead-stop but that's because I'm off at my writer's conference (on a break right now! :D) and wow, learning so much. Just... so much! It's really kind of amazing and I'm glad I type fast enough to effectively transcribe what people say. Otherwise I know I'd forget things once I leave.
And now I gotta get back to the workshop--good luck with the writing / planning fun!

Whooo! I always feel like I'll SURELY remember everything, and then of course I don't. :) Glad to hear it's going great and your passion is bright!
