My creative pursuits outside of work don’t involve writing at all! I barely even read books for fun… I think all the writing I do at work just burns me out.

I made a kid. I don't have time for writing pursuits outside of advertising. Too busy keeping the child happy, healthy, and alive.

I had a kid too and let me tell you, until I did, I had no idea so many children’s books were SO BAD. I find it hard to believe some of them were even published. There’s a huge ripe market for people with actual talent.

Children’s books.

Screenwriting.
None.
I still try to get published in lit magazines or journalism outlets 1-2x a year. And on the side I do screenwriting, hoping to hit one while advertising sustains me. If not, just enjoy my career.

Young adult books for me.
Children book, short film, and just starting my feature film screenplay. I’ve got a Young Adult fantasy novel I’ve been writing off and on but that one’s gonna take me years to finish lol.
poetry, photography, short stories, submitting to mags…offsetting the capitalist pig in me with art in any way feels good
