My favorite hobby has always been writing. When I was
younger I used to sit down for hours at a time and just write away. I have
stacks of old poems and short stories stuffed into every drawer in my
dresser. I never left the house without
my favorite pen and a pad of paper. My goal in life used to be to become a
best-selling author like James Patterson and Stephen King. I would write something,
and then rewrite it, and again and again always looking for ways to improve. I
have always been fascinated by how an author’s choice of words can affect a
reader. I was once told that an author’s main purpose in writing is to evoke
emotion; if their story cannot make the reader feel happy, excited , hurt,
angry or even make them shed a tear , they have not done their job. Sadly though, through the years I have lost
touch with my imagination and I do not have the spare time to just sit down and
write. Although I do not do it as often
it is still my favorite hobby and it always will be.
