I have read a fair amount of your writing in the last few months and I definitely don't think it is scrappy. Hobbies are fun! Lego is fun! Not that I own any, anymore, but I used to and when I did, I enjoyed it, so there you go!
I do have some hobbies and in a way they are all passions. I guess you could even say that my creative artistic endeavors are hobbies too.
I will definitely carry on reading your writing. I found it enjoyable from the start so yes, I guess we will cross paths around here. That would be nice. Having read blogs without being able to reply has kind of created a situation where I feel like I know the writers but they don't know me. So now I will have to change that.
