You Know You're A Writer When...

How do you know why you're a writer? What weird writer quirks do you have that show the entire world that you're a writer?

-Doing internet searches that probably put you on some kind of watch list

-Talking about your characters with your family and friends, "Oh, that's  totally something <name> would do!"

-You carry a notebook everywhere, going through several each yea, just to write story ideas in

-You start out writing a short story for school and end up with a novel plot line that you shove into your desk draw of other plot line

-You buy 50 cheap notebooks during backtoschool shopping for 10 cents each and use them all within a few months

-Going to sleep is hard... then's when the good ideas come!

-Anything you do has a potential to be a story

-When you narrate everything you do with your normal writing style

-People who irritate you will live forever: revenge comes in many forms, the personal favorite of mine, writing disliked people into annoying characters

-You can explain the plot line of a movie ten minutes in

-Characters names are sacred! You spend more time looking for the perfect name than actually writing that day

-The words added to dictionary part of the auto correct system is full of 500 words from various stories

-You aren't friends with people who don't read. Period.

How many of these apply to you?
