Hmm... Surprisingly... I write most of the time. Every time someone asks me what I'm doing, it's always the same... "Writing." I try to think of other things to say, but I mean... That's what I do! XD
On the rare occasion I'm actually not writing:
-taking care of my son
-cleaning the house
-playing with/taking care of my kitties (we have 4 of them, yikes)
-putting up with people's bullshit
-counting down the seconds until I can write some more
-talking to my friends (while doing the above)
-answering reviews/mail/comments on various sites
-posting stuff on this guild b/c I love it
-aaaaaand eating/sleeping (I don't get much sleep and sometimes I forget to eat, though)

Most of the time, when I'm not writing, I think about what I COULD be writing. I'm narrating my life in my head, or daydreaming and thinking, "Man, this would make a great story." Often when I daydream, I don't just see things happening; I describe them with the same language I'd use in my stories. ...WTF.
Or I'm roleplaying, which is like writing, but different, because I feel like I write a lot better when I don't have to cut myself short to allow my partner to jump in. It's still fun, though.
Other than that, I'm surfing the web, eating, sleeping, playing with one of my animals, watching TV, reading, drawing, cooking, thinking about death/the universe/other metaphysical-ish things or doing some combination. On the weekends I actually do something other than sit in the same spot until I have to eat or pee. I hang with my girlfriend, and we either talk about our roleplays, go on walks (this is rare, I'm a weird little shut-in), or... ahem, well. Yes. That's it.
I am such an exciting person.

Haha I am loving these replies to this thread.
Morphine - Ooo how old is your son? Do you write little stories for him? Glad you are liking the guild! Message me if there is anything else you wish to be part of the guild!
Nayamashii - Usually I have the same problem of thinking more about my stories than writing! And us writer's always seem to be quite solitary creatures haha.

I posted, and the most memorable one to me (because this happened once) was: When your English teacher goes to you for grammar advice

I consider writing 1/3 of my life. The other 2/3s belong to music and my youth group, DICE. Because I'm going off to college that youth group will probably be replaced by something else.
Within my writing life includes my writing (duh), reading, my RPs, and bascially my entire internet life.
Within my music life includes marching band, concert band, the band I'm failing to create with my friend Ben, practicing, and lessons. I own four insturments, two clarinets (Vader and Anastasia), a bass (Selsun), and a flute (Aurora).
DICE use to take up a lot more time than it does now. Last year I was president, which meant I had to attend officer meetings (1-3 hours) our actually meetings (2 hours a week) and a ton of events. I also kept up facebook up to date with our events. DICE was great when I was just a member. And it was great for the first nine months of my term. Don't even get me started on my last three months (I just may cry). I honestly stuck around for the member, which is why I think a social life is going to fill this gap once I get to college. Oh, and maybe classes. Yeah, that's what we are paying of 20 grand a year for, right? blaugh

I draw.
I think I'm split between 70% writing and 30% drawing though my artist friends guilt trip me if I don't draw enough and tip it back to 50% write and 50% draw.
I started off drawing shitty anime stuff (though my current art is still that), and I'm slowly edging myself up to an acceptable level.
I'm doing loads of practice on colour theory in the hopes of one day colouring something I drew in a way that doesn't make it look like a five year old dodged and burned the hell out of it.
