What do you do outside of OBC?
I wondered what kinds of hobbies/work people do outside of OBC. Do you write full-time, or is this just a fun addition to a completely different career?

For me, this is an addition to completely unrelated job. I work in customer service! I like OBC as it's a place to discover books I wouldn't usually come across, plus writing reviews improves my writing and attention to language. I have my own book blog and instagram and at some point want to put reviews on there. I have only done a couple of paid reviews on here so far, and the rest are unpaid.

That's great! I do a little blogging myself, and I like the idea of a book blog. I'd love to check yours out.Gingerbo0ks wrote:That's interesting to hear. It seems quite a lot of people on this site write in their spare time.

Neat! If you get back into it you should share your stories on hereKalin Adi wrote:I just have a normal life. I work, study, cook, travel, eat, hang out with friends and so on. I do not write anymore. I used to write short stories for kids, but I haven't done it in a while.

That's great! I work mostly from home too. I'm an extrovert so sometimes I get a little stir crazy But the flexibility is awesome.kislany wrote:I left the corporate world (where I used to be software tech support and trainer) several years ago, so now I'm blogging, book reviewing, working from home, basically. I'm a deep introvert, so while for many being home all day long sounds pretty boring, for me it's perfect.
