Welcome
to the final post of Voices of Fiction.
Over
the last few weeks, our authors have shared their hobbies, from gaming to
exercise, from microbrewery to turtles, and beyond. The variety of activities
engaged in when not writing has been huge and interesting.
What hobby do you enjoy when not writing?
My main
activity outside of writing isn’t really a hobby at all. It’s actually a
separate goal in my life journey, or maybe it runs parallel, joining at points
with my writing.
Most of
you know I’m referring to Tarot Guidance, my tarot website and blog. I became
interested in divination in my late teens and never really got over it. Over
the years, I’ve moved from reading playing cards to reading Tarot cards, Oracle,
and Leonormand style decks. My main love stays with the Tarot, but I’m always
searching for more. Recently, I’ve begun working with Numerology and even more
recently the Akashic Records. There is so much to explore, and I’m eager to learn
what I can.
Oh, we
are supposed to be talking about hobbies, the fun things we do.
Let me
take you on a journey, for some of the hobbies I enjoy, well, I don’t really do
anymore. Why? I guess life takes us down different roads in life, some offer
the environment for certain activities and others lead you to new territory.
I feel
my life at this point has been split in two – one when I was once married, and
now when I’m not. Each life has brought great rewards, not to say there haven’t
also been great disappointments.
My past
life: Fishing (Catfish), boating, cross-stitching, writing and tarot (these
weren’t goals in this other life, not yet), reading, and Yard Sales!
New
Life: Reality Check! I need a hobby. I still read - does that count? My
energies are spent mostly on my goals of writing and spiritual growth. I feel
the need to be outdoors, but this time is spent tending to my yard, work
mostly. This could indeed turn toward a hobby-gardening, bird watching (my yard
is full of birds!), or even just a connecting with nature. Since I do enjoy my
work of writing and tarot reading, perhaps a hobby at this time isn’t a needed
aspect in my life.
I hope
you’ve all enjoyed this exploration of author hobbies and all of the topics
discussed here on the Voices
of Fiction series.
We’ve
reached the end of the series, at least for a while.
I plan to switch gears slightly and bring a more personal touch to the blog – personal insights, thoughts on writing, writing techniques explored, and such. Not to say, you won’t come across the usual – author interviews, book reviews, and guest appearances.
I’m always open to help support my fellow author. Feel free to contact me.
