Writing as a hobby?

[InItToWinIt]

I always loved to write. I used to write many poems for my (now) ex-girlfriend. After that ended, I stopped writing for a while, but now I'm back in the swing of things.

A couple of my poems have already been published for a school poem book. I wrote poems about Christianity and religion, but only because the teacher was big on that, so I did it for the marks. I got a full 10% on my final mark for it, but I just sighed at the fact that it was those works I'd get recognition for.

Ahhhh well....

I simply want to write for the heck of it. To be honest, before I do get published, I'll need to find some contemporaries to chill with. =p

i write as in Spanish as a hobby, but now I am starting to write in English both because i like it and to improve my English, I know I am not THAT good at English yet, I mean, I still make some grammar mistakes so I cant write really good stuff, but I wanna try

Here's a site that has some great exercises, my fave being the one about why I write.

I write to write. I love it. It is my life. But right now, I AM trying to get published. I so badly want it, and the way my life is going I might need something with which to support myself if I get kicked out and have to go on my own. I also just think it would be totally awesome!
