November 6 question - What creative activity do you engage in when you're not writing?
To tell the truth, I've put my writing by the wayside for quite a while, due to a number of family issues and a great deal of insecurities.
My writing is ok, but it doesn't pay the bills. LOL. In fact I spend more $ advertising than making a profit. Needless to say, I sat on my newest manuscript for almost a year and recently sent it off to be professionally edited. In all sincerity, I could've stayed with my publisher. They'd edit, format, and make the cover for me. Instead I chose to eliminate the middleman and self-publish, which means paying out of pocket for these projects. However, I guess I'm a control freak because I like having control over my books.
As far as sitting down and beginning to write anew, I'm waiting for inspiration to strike. Maybe it will, maybe it won't. Only time will tell.
In the meantime, I'm crocheting scarves for the grandkids. Taking my old dog for daily walks and getting into the season of concocting hearty stews and soups.
