I was at a wedding once,and a husband of a friend, said to me about my writing, 'what a nice hobby'.

Thanks.<br /><br /><b>Kat</b><br />No, like you, I am not in that game at all. I did way back try publishing a novel, but very green and busy at work at the time, not doing the research and not understanding the difference between self-publishing and Vanity publishing, it fluttered briefly and then died a natural death. When I started to blog I got asked all the time how many hits I was getting (I think the expectations were in millions!) but never once, what the blog was about.<br /><br />Thanks for your comments. As I said to David, very helpful.<br /><br /><b>Tabor</b><br />... and passions - isn't it amazing how the meaning of that word changes with age!<br /><br /><b>Derrick</b><br />Ah, there's the rub!<br /><br /><b>Helen</b><br />When it comes down to it, what <b>isn't</b> a gender thing?

I laughed at the hobbies to obsessions bit and then nodding all the way through the last verse. Why is it that poetry is met in this way?<br />I've been semi-acknowledged by family and friends since self-publishing, but now they expect me to get out there and really flog it. I'm not a sales-person; I'm a poet. Now they want me to prove myself against literary giants.<br />That's not why I do it and I suspect, nor do you.<br /><br />Love the not-haiku. It's early and I had to nudge the brain a bit to work out the L.V.
