Young Writers Society

You know you're a writer when you have ink all over your hands and it's not even seven in the morning yet.

You know you're a writer when The Land of Milk and Honey becomes The Land of Coffee and Candy. Or whatever food/drink you take when you stay up late.

You know you're a writer when you get around four hours of sleep each day during NaNo.

You know you're a writer when you get hyper when your teacher announces any sort of writing activity.

You know you're a writer when you ask your teacher if you can submit multiple pieces of work for said writing activity.

You know you're a writer when you start finding an agent at the age of thirteen without even having finished your novel.

You know you're a writer when you wake up, feeling that you are one of your favorite characters.

You know that you are a writer when you begin to speak to your characters and become insane

You know you're a writer when you write letters to yourself from your characters.

You know you're a writer when you don't actually write anything, but agonise for ages over what to write, ending up with no words, a glaring, obstinately empty white page and an epic headache.

Give yourself a cookie, if you're a writer.

You know you're a writer when you write competition judges letters screaming: "MY WORK IS BRILLIANT AND HAS TO BE FIRST PLACE," even though the rules explicitly say, "no correspondence shall be entered into."

And of course you send them another letter after the results screaming: "WHY DID YOU NOT REWARD MY EFFORTS? I WILL BRIBE YOU TO MAKE ME FIRST," even though the rules also say, "the judges' decision is final."

LOL. Epic win, Gahks.

You know you’re a writer if you’ve done everything you possibly can in life to avoid writing but still find yourself needing to.

You know you’re a writer if the poetry book on your kitchen table was a pile of napkins last week.

You know you’re a writer if (like me at this very moment) you are wakened at 2:37 am, a character whispering (shouting perhaps?) in your ear, urging you, no, commanding you, to fire up your laptop, cup of tea in hand, and write the next chapter, in which she insists on taking you places you never intended to go!

*Gobbles cookie*

You know you're a writer, if after all that agonising, you wait up in the middle of the night and write 3 pages without thinking at all.

You know you're a writer when you see all the titles of other people's works in the writing forum and come up with a little plotlet of every one you scan and wish you'd had the idea instead.

You know you're a writer when you can't think of a title but it's impossible to say what you want in only a few words, which is why you are writing anyway!

I can't believe this one hasn't been said yet.....

You know you're a writer when you aren't freaked out when hearing voices in your head!

You know you're a writer when you sleep-write.

You know you're a writer when you start writing on the table because you haven't noticed that you ran out of paper.

I wrote these while reading.

You Know You're a writer when...

... you have a FanFic for every book you own.

... you write ten pages and delete all but one sentance.

...you've tackled someone to get a pencil and piece of paper.

... you've built the town in your novel out of cardboard.

...you ask your characters for advice.

... You've noticed any spelling/grammer mistakes I've made

...you cannot feel your fingers after typing for three minutes.

...After typing for three minutes, you have four pages down.

...You ask on of your characters to the school dance.

...You fall asleep at nine A.M. Because you have been writing since eight P.M. the night before.

...You have duct-taped a pencil and paper to your jeans so you're always prepared!

...You haven't played video games in three months.

...Your desk is so surronded by paper that you have to climb jump onto your dresser, then into the chair.

...You've cried while killing off a character.

...Your computer is your boyfriend.

...The word "said" is probably the worst word in thee entire universe.

...You noticed I used "thee" not "the in the above post.

...You hate people who leave a one-line review.

...There is a coffee machine next to your computer. (Guilty as charged)

...When your mom has hidden all the pencils so you'll listen to her.

...When you destroy your office/room looking for that line of dialouge you wrote last night and end up throwing it out.

...The people in Border's know your name. (True for me)

...The people in Borders Cafe already have your extra,extra,extra large coffe ready when you walk in.

I can't believe no one has used this one:

You know you're a writer when you're on a forum called "You know your a writer when..."
and have come up with atleast three ideas while reading it.

You know you're a writer when...

--You worry that you'll die before you read all the books on your list.
--You worry that you'll get alzenheimer's disease when you're forty and won't be able to remembe the stories
you're working on.
--You demand that no one bothers getting you a Christmas present that is not a book.
--Your wildest fantasy has nothing to do with Prince Charming or vampires or ruling the world but instead being on the bestsellers list someday.
