I just wrote the first 53k words of a new hobby (character driven horror) novel this month. I think it’s between 1/2 to 2/3rds done and it’s been a lot of fun so far. It takes some dedication but the hardest part is starting, especially when everyone assumes their first story will be great. After you put in the time and practice and then write your first 10 pages, the next 180 are relatively easy. The first things people write will be bad. You have to just practice until you get past that and most people get discouraged before then. It’s an extremely fun and relaxing hobby if you can get past that bump Edit: sigh… I have an in progress writing prep app with a trailer and everything but it’s not hosted yet, so I can’t link to it. Serves me right for putting it off
