It’s time for another edition of The Insecure Writer’s Support Group, founded by Ninja Captain, Alex J. Cavanaugh.
The question for today: What creative activity do you engage in when you're not writing?
It used to be photography. I’ve been a professional photographer since my mid-twenties. I still enjoy taking photos but don’t do it professionally or seriously anymore. (Although it takes every ounce of control to keep from grabbing cell phones at concerts and turning them horizontal. People, what is the ratio of your TV? Record video the same way!)
Now, my creativity is in cooking. And growing my garden. And fermenting and drying! Anything to keep us from eating processed foods. I bake our bread. I cook our beans. I grow sprouts. And herbs. Currently growing winter lettuce. I also make our tea with organic products, including mint I grow myself. Plus I do food boards. My one for our Friday night game night was so much fun.
Another passion is Spanish! I am learning to speak Latino Spanish from a wonderful couple at our church. It’s a once a week meet and we have so much fun. ¿Dónde está el baño? – the most useful sentence you will ever learn. (Where is the bathroom?)
So, with all of that, I am engaged in a lot of creative things!

Lol yeah, i wouldn't go as far as have to stop myself, but I roll my eyes at vertical videos at least. Just why haha
You've got a lot of creative pursuits! I need to learn Spanish (definitely on my list). I avoid processed foods, too. :)
That skeleton is cool.
Congratulations to Sherry!
Hi Diane - congratulations to you and your publishing 'empire' ... love the spooky critter above. Spanish ... that phrase I'd need ... but have no skill with languages ... but I totally endorse your healthy thoughts - cheers Hilary
Love the spooky table layout! Photography seems to be a common habit among creatives. As a kid I took pictures everywhere I went, but it was frustrating for my parents who lost count of how many cameras I broke or misplaced. At concerts, I just want to snatch phones out of hands full stop though. Enjoy the moment!
