Writing doesn't leave much time for hobbies, unless you consider that I began writing as a hobby and have made the hobby into a profession.

Writing used to be my hobby, but now that it's my job, I have no hobby - except watching TV and laying around the pool reading 'U.S. Weekly.' I have tried many hobbies, such as knitting, Pilates, ballet, yoga, and guitar, but none of them have taken.

I knew that you couldn't make a living simply writing about the outdoors, so I made an effort from the beginning of my freelance career to write about other subjects.

Write. Enjoy writing. Then, and only then, worry about the business end of it. Start loving your hobby, and then you can't go too wrong.

I always treated writing as a profession, never as a hobby. If you don't believe in yourself, no one else will.

Writing is my profession. Photography is my hobby.

Writing is the only thing that, when I do it, I don't feel I should be doing something else.

Other than fishing and a little bird-hunting, all I do is write.

All I'm doing is painting. It's my hobby. And that's that.
