I don't know if you knew this about me, but I have written five novels. I wrote a vampire trilogy called Forever Fifteen that was actually pretty good if I do say so myself. It's not highbrow literature but as novels go, the FF series is a fast, entertaining read. I wrote another standalone novel called River's Heart about a Native American vampire. My latest and likely last novel (for a while, anyway) is Shadeylight, a satirical spoof of Twilight and 50 Shades of Grey. If I ever write again, I am sure I'll write about paranormal subjects, just not about vampires again. I have gotten sick of them.
Writing is tough and fiction writing is tougher. In my own case, writing fiction wasn't hard, but promoting it was too frustrating and too much of a replay of my failure to launch my original music as a young woman. I may write more fiction in this lifetime but it won't happen anytime soon as I have too many other writing and non-writing projects.
For the "creative hobby that inspires me in short time" the Ogham give Ailm or Transcendence well-dignified. They like this one a great deal. It is highly likely this activity will be more physically involved than writing. Ironically, once you get good enough at this new hobby, chances are you'll write a non-fiction book about it.
For "Am I dropping writing too quickly?" The Ogham say No, and they give you Duir or Gifts ill-dignified. The Ogham think you are overflowing with gifts and writing is just one of the buffet you have to choose from. To steer away from it for the time being towards one of the others is not a bad thing at all. One is silver and the other is gold.
