(Click for Poet Info...)

My name is Timothy Hicks, and I've been writing for 5 years now, since I was 13. My main hobbies include writing, playing my piano, origami and bicycling.

I'm a bit OCD about some things and some would refer to me as a nervous pacer. I like to do outdoor activities, but at the same enjoy my alone time where I can sit and write. I'm a very avid reader and enjoy several different genres: horror, science-fiction, fantasy, and mysteries such as Sherlock Holmes.

I've had several different jobs including shakerboarder, pizza-make and cotton candy maker-and-distributor.

I like to think of myself as someone that can fit into almost any crowd and I always try to stay on the bright side of things. I swear very little and hardly ever get mad at people. I believe spreading smiles is a much better practice than sharing negativity...

Moving (again) ... Hoping to Find Some Calm This Year

Blog Posted by Timothy Hicks: 7/19/2020 11:01:00 AM

Hey Fellow Soupers.

I've been away for these past couple months (after only just getting back). To tell you the truth it's been the most hectic year of my life .... more has happened to me in these last 6 -7 months than the previous 10 years it seems (and that's not even including the pandemic and lockdown fiascos).

Not to get TOO much on the Soap Box here, but I've going through a lot of different stuff recently. In January my parents who have been together for 40 years split up, and my mom moved out of state. And now I've decided to move out of state myself (to Florida) and am feeling like I have to pick between which family members to stick with ... and which to leave behind. So I've been trying to spend as much time with the family and friends I have here before heading off in September. To add to my anxiousness in all this ... with the current spike of cases in Florida I don't even know if my job transfer will pan out. I work in the restaurant industry which isn't the greatest industry to be in during these current circumstances.

I'm also working on a few different creative projects between trying to publish a book, making music, and trying to create and sell some board games I invented ... coupled with these mixed emotions of leaving state once again, unfortunately, P-Soup hasn't been high on my priority list and haven't had time to squeeze it in with all the other things.

But long story short ... I'm doing more good than bad and I pray it all works out in the end.

I lived in Georgia for nearly 2 years. Moved back to Idaho in January 2018. Now I’m moving to Florida in September. Kind of confusing, I know :/

Timothy, I pray you made the right decision for yourself in where to move. I have missed you. It must be scary wondering about your future in the restaurant industry. You will have to soupmail me details like which restaurant and what kind of board games and which parent you will be nearby. Sorry they split up. You are a very kind and creative soul and I hope to see a lot of poetry from you.
