As someone who is currently a hobby writer but who hopes to be published someday, I find it hard to talk about my writing. It’s not like other “hobbies” where people understand the relaxing value of it or even the fun/social aspect of it. I don’t know if it’s because writing is also a career, but when I tell people I write they are either way to enthusiastic and want to know where I’m published, missing the part that it’s just a hobby, or they turn up their nose and could care less.
This has lead me to realize that I do t really know how to talk to people outside of writing circles about writing.
How do you make small talk about your writing?
