Young Writers Society

You know when you're a writer when you get into a yelling match with your father over an apostrophe on a website that isn't very credible or important anyway- and your mum has to step in and make you both apologize.

Woooow.

You know you're a writer when you research a minor concept in your plot so much that the only remaining research materials you haven't used are only found in the Library of Congress.

You know you're a writer when you have special wrist warmers to keep your hands/wrists warm so you can write as much as possible. Like what I'm wearing right now. ^_^

In my relationship with my father's defense:
You know you are a writer when you spend hours discussing different ways to portray information and twist ideas for plots with your father, until Mum feels a little left out as she doesn't write.

You know your a writer when you freak out upon finding grammatical errors in published works. Harry Potter has, like, a bajillion. I was appalled!

^ I know what you mean ^

You know you're a writer when you put down a book halfway and think of an ending and get mad when you read it and it's not as "good".

You know you're a writer when, for a lack of paper, you start a bit of writing in a text message on your phone and save it to drafts for later!

=D Totally did that~

Haha. You know you're a writer when, even before you knew you were a writer, you were editing classmate's work and critiquing stories for friends.

True story. I was introduced to this site after writing a paragraph (through text message) to show a friend how sentence length can effect pace and tension

You know you're a writer when . . .

your mother kicks you off the computer at 10:00 pm

you find yourself calling your best friend the name of your MC on accident *hehe*

you consider the marks of red pen on your twenty-third draft a work of art.

You also know you are a writer when you crawl off to bed at two in the morning after an epic catch up on critting.

You know you're a writer when...

You take things from real life and re-create them... as interesting *gasps*
You think you wrote a crappy paper and then your teacher tells you you're "articulate".
Your thesaurus is out more than your planner.
You have an impeccable vocabulary.
You think more about working out a problem in your story than you do thinking about boys. (MUCH more time...)
You want to spend the rest of your life writing books and/or reading them.
You know you're a writer when the stuffed cow on your bookshelf starts a congo line with the rest of your stuffed animals O.O

You know you're a writer when you get writer's block and respond by writing about your muse until he cracks and gives you a proper idea.

You know when you're a writer when...

You can't remember the last time you went to bed before eleven because you've been staying up late every night writing.

You get a snow day at school and the first thing you think is, "Yay I can work on working on my novel/short story/poem/etc today!" (which I did this morning)

You get a partial request from an agent and that makes you're whole day.

You're English teacher asks you what you did over Christmas vacation and all you tell her is that you finished a novel. (did this one too)

If you see a misspelled word or grammar mistake anywhere, you can't rest until you've corrected it.

You know you're a writer when your parents hire you to write letters for them.

You know you're a writer when you want to research cats' mating habits for your novel.
