So OT..picked up any new hobbies?

Well I'm bored, and when I'm bored I ask questions. Also I'm procratinating like a mug, but anyway. List some new hobbies you picked up so far.

Me?

Well my new hobby is writing, I'm even writing my first novel.

And my second new hobbyis photography. I realized I want to take pictures of cool things. I see a lot and want to remember and share them. Just need some advice and a new camera.

Maybe this one: http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/hardwares/classics/nikonfmseries/fm2n/fm2manual/.

What about you?

Just the guitar, i'm actually loving to learn it. And i wanna get a camera too but they are expensive.

Collecting vinyl records and im getting into motercycles :)

also, get a canon T2i or T3i. theyre basically the same camera except the t3i has a few new extra features, and a swiveling viewfinder. but when it comes to picure quality theyre pretty much the same and you can save a bit on the t2i since its the old model if you can live without the new features.

Fantasizing about cars that cost more than most people's homes.

My current hobby would be (more or less) saving money. But other than that, same old.

Had a dream last night about having an electric guitar and amp. Might take that up at some point. BranKetra

Becoming a professional procrastinator... So much so that I have found myself feeling horrible and having extreme anxiety when I finish an assignment here at my university early... If I am not doing it at the last minute I am doing it wrong.

My most recent hobbies are finding old dollar bills and collecting old books. So far I have a bunch of dollars bills before 1995, ranging from $1 bills to $20 bills, but my greatest find was when I discovered a 1969 $10 dollar bill. That and collecting old books. I managed to get a few from my community college for free and purchased "Breach of Faith: The Downfall of Richard M. Nixon" from EBay. Very good book for those interested in Nixon or presidential power.

Not new, but I've started reading a lot again.

Reread about half of the books I own the past couple months.

Awesome! Just remember to read tons of novels while writing your novel. It'll come out alot better that way.

BTW, what kind of novel is it?

Staying away from the supernatural is a wise decision. It'll be more believable that way and you won't be as tempted to use dues ex machina.

But, now that you mention that your book is about an assassin, I remember you saying that in my creative writing projects thread.

A group of assassins actually. I gotta work on my grammar and writing style too. I can always post a rough draft of what I got so far. My next novel is most def a war novel though. That one I am really excited about.

[QUOTE="MgamerBD"] I have no clue...first it started out as a book about a misunderstood teen, and now it is leading into an action adventure book about the kid becoming an assassin. Like the movie wanted...I'm trying to stay away from the supernatural though, which is really hard...MgamerBD

I wouldn't mind reading it if you want to post it, but you don't have to post it or anything. I usually like to keep my writing top secret, but then again I'm pretty paranoid about my writing and I guess I have enough of an ego to think people want to steal my ideas. :lol:

Is your next novel a fictional story about a real war or a completely fictional war?

Not a new hobby but I've been trying to get into skateboarding again.

I completely understand the feeling of someone stealing your ideas. But honestly, my story sounds so unoriginal to me right now I'm sure no one will want it untill the body of it.

My next novel is going to be completely fictional, not too long in the future either. Most likely set in 2015-2020. The protaganist either gets drafted or joins because of freewill(I have no clue yet).

Either way there will be death, explosions, and psychological trauma. One thing I am proud of is my way to explain a situation or high intensity event in action. I'm ecstatic about it.

Being able to write unfolding action well is a good skill to have since IMO writing action is one of the hardest things to do in a novel. I consider myself to be a good writer, but I find myself rewriting action sequences over and over.

[spoiler] Just FYI, the novel I'm currently working on is about a pop superstar who gets herself into a very fvcked up situation and that's all I will say. :P [/spoiler]

Sorry but I'm not going to. I'm really paranoid about posting my writing on the internet. :oops:

You can read that dumb Yoshi story in my blog tho. But it's not representative of my real writing. It was a throwaway story I wrote when I was bored.

You don't like criticism, or you're afraid someone is going to jack your work?

There are websites out there that host stories that you can use to fight any kind of copyright infringement. Or if you think it's any good you can get it copy-righted yourself.

Oh really? That's a great idea!

I might look into that and maybe I'll post something when I'm done with the first draft.

For now, you're just going to have to settle for the story in my blog, which is not to be taken seriously. :P
