One of my GAL activities was (and still is) creative writing. I find it a wonderful way to utilize my imagination, relieve myself of stress by focusing on my self created worlds, and yet it takes a certain amount of commitment, structured thinking, and strategizing. I love it, and even if I never publish anything, I will continue to write. I also enjoy writing poetry. I read in a recent Writers Magazine, that it is a good idea to keep a writing journal, to plot how much, when, what, one writes on a daily basis. For instance, you can journal your progress in character creation, or plot, or whatever. I thought it an interesting thing to try, and hopefully improve my writing, as well as, make it a more structured activity (presently, I just write when I'm in the mood).
I am also thinking of taking dancing classes, and my H may join me, if it falls on the weekends (since he will be away from home during the week). Who knows, it may awaken his romantic side, if he has one.
I am glad to see that you do not get offended at the examiners comments after your dance exam. Some people are just not as flexible as others, and there is probably not a lot you can do about it, except focus on improving what you can. You take yoga, so that may help somewhat with you flexibility?
BTW, I see that you understand where your W is coming from, in ignoring you at social events. I, for one, still think that anyone who does that is just being insensitive and rude. But, that's just me.
Take care.
