Dev by profession and hobby. Not a ton of time for hobbies these days though! Mom of two young kids. Also really into dog training (agility, nose-work, advanced obedience, etc) & reading fiction. 😃
When I have a moment and feel the urge. I definitely treat it as a passion thing: if I feel the passion I jump in and work as hard as I can for a few days in every spare second I have. If not then I play video games or scroll through Twitter or doodle in my journal. I never force myself to work on side projects. I don't need any more "you must" responsibility in my life, I have enough already!

That's interesting. I often try to reduce the number of projects I work on. And I can't imagine how many ideas I've had for different projects.
