I write screenplays for fun.

I’ve written a bunch of short films and one day maybe one will get produced.

I’m also kind working on a historical drama feature film.

I really enjoy the creative process and don’t truly care if I ever sell one it get one produced.

So many

Homelab

Buy broken electronics, repair, resell (so like microsoldering, diagnosing, etc)

Woodworking but I’m bad at it

Cooking

Music but I’m bad at it

3d printing/cad but I’m bad at cad

Language study 日本語

Pcb design and some coding related to this but I’m bad at it

It’s why I get the anti work people. If I could change careers every few years I would. I love learning about new stuff. I post a lot but most of the time I do that is either when I have idle time at work, before or right after work (although sometimes it leaks into weekends). I hate the phrase jack of all trades master of none, it’s cool to know about a lot of things (as long as you recognize the limitations of your knowledge)

Gardening or more specifically raising fruit trees. Right now I got about 50 citrus trees growing from trifoliate orange seeds. Once they’re ready I am going to graft lemons and satsumas onto them. I’m not planning to sell the trees, rather I’ll gift them to friends and family.

I also propagate houseplants and gift them to friends, family and colleagues. Since they’re so easy to propagate it’s almost no effort.

I enjoy learning vfx through houdini, id be doing it still if it wasnt so annoying to get on linux (im not paying for it, that 260$ a year cost is for me ppl making money and id do it if I was)

Blender is hella fun, like the ultimate sandbox game, cities skylines with no constraints (except much harder) I think with more and more addons it’ll be the perfect sandbox creative city builder. Like procedural roads, cities, procedural terrain, buildings, etc. When the laxk of freedom in those games dissapoint you just make animations, the end goal in some of these games like planet coaster is to have something cool to look at and modify freely, the economy means nothing, might as well make it in blender.

I have a bunch of hobbies but the two that I’m currently concentrating on are building guitars and working on motorcycles.

There are plenty of people who build or customize guitars for a living. I have sold exactly one that I built from scratch and that was probably 15 years ago.

I’m resurrecting a barn find motorcycle that I’ll sell (or I’ll sell one of mine to keep this, I haven’t decided), but I’m not going to make any money on it because it’s not sought after. I’m doing it for love. I’ll break even.

I bake fancy sourdough, grow vegetables, do landscaping (but not mowing) make great cocktails for people, ferment foods and drinks. Occasionally draw things for decorations.

On the other hand, we pay someone to mow, and also to clean the house every other week.

I brew alcohol and grow mushrooms(gourmet and non-gourmet)

Photography. I got back into it last year and have really enjoyed the process. I’ve learned a lot in a really short time.

Not exactly the same but Truck driving Simulation on PC.

I play golf, some days I wouldn’t even call it a hobby more like penance and a walk in the trees and sticks

Welding! Just personal projects

I’m trying to get into creating electronic circuits. I’m terrible at it, though.

I have a machine shop that I use for making things out of metal that are normally not made of metal (like a yarn winder).

Gaming.

Apparently there are people who receive monetary compensation for drawing comics. Some apparently can even do that as their main job. That’s what I heard at least, they seem to be rare.
