I've come to a conclusion today that I have a void in my life, I have no outlet for creativity.
It's not that I'm not creative, more that I'm not traditionally creative. I don't write, draw, paint, sculpt, or anything like that. The closest I ever got was mapping for Quake. My creativity is based in problem solving. I can't figure out how to apply that to a hobby of some sort.
What do you guys do?
Anyone can try Calligraphy, all you need is patience, a nib and some ink, perhaps a book with some example styles. I find it soothing for some reason. I should really do it more often to try and get better at it.
I chip away at the writing here and there, a lot of ideas spit balling with a few friends. I can always do more and I should because I enjoy it and maybe I can make a living off it some day if I'm lucky enough. I enjoy both fiction and non-fiction writing. The thought just occurred to me to consider writing it by hand before typing. Perhaps I'd tease out more of the sincerity in such a way. I like feedback so share some short stories with friends for ideas. Perhaps sometime I could write a short story to share on phuks for feedback.I did write a few little snippets in my aussiebanter sub for fun.

I'd read it. We need more OC anyway. :)
Calligraphy is cool, I wish I had that sort of fine motor control with a pen. TIny screws, sure, but writing? Forget about it.
How are the stories/books coming? Are you putting a concentrated effort into it?
