Got a hobby? Write about it.

Got a hobby?

More than one? Sometimes I think my hobby is finding new hobbies.

It’s not that I’m fickle.

Well, maybe.

Curiosity gets the best of me and I find myself trying this, then that, and then something else.

Occasionally something sticks—like baking.

I’ve gone from skiing, not so successful, to snowshoes; from seed packs to starter plants. Tried tap dancing ... it made me dizzy (but I loved the shoes), and paper mache (too messy).

But I always return to collage. Easy to set-up and breakdown, it’s a perfectly imperfect art that allows me to make mistakes and keep going.

Writing challenges me, and my hobbies (successful or not), give me lots of writing material.

I hope you have a hobby (or like me, a few), or you’ll try something new this month.

Because no matter what you try, hobbies can banish boredom, lift your spirits, and bolster your self confidence. Give it a go.

And write about it.
