You know you're a writer when...

You know you're a writer when you hesitate to read a book that looks briliant plot-wise because you can't stop mentally correcting everything.

^I have a book that looks like that.

You know you are a writer when....

....you lock yourself in your room so that no one will bother you when you are writing.

....you always get on YWS when you get on the computer at least once.

....you hate to grade someone else's essay in school because you want to write all over it in red ink.

You also know it when you have three of those notebooks, one for your room, your coat pocket, and your purse.

*raises hand*

Guilty. :D

You know you're a writer when you can't write certain stories at the same time, because the characters jump from their respective pages and start arguing in your brain. So, to avoid fictional cat fights, you can only pair certain stories together.

You know you're a writer when you think about how you would turn your life into a story.

You know you're a writer when you randomly get a great idea for a plot and rush to find a piece of paper to write it down.

You know you're a writer when you bash your head at the keyboard when you have writer's block.

You know you're a writer when you waste all of your money on paper.

You know you're a writer when you join this site (just had to say that ).

You know you are writer when...

...You rather write then do anything else. Including study for exams.

...You have more then three stories going on at the same time.

...You get angry when you see mistakes in text books.

...You can write for hours non-stop.

...You can write with both hands just in case you other hand gets tired.

You know you're a writer when you think writer's block is something to be avoided at all costs. You will start a new story, post in endless RPGs or whatever just so you are still writing!

You know you're a writer when you come up with an idea for a story and have no paper, you write it on an any available body part.

Except that they don't argue in my brain, but actually on the paper. So, it's like I'm writing a scene, and then out of the blue, an avian-humanoid pops in and starts yelling at the MC. It gets kind of fun, sometimes. I copy and paste it into another document, whenever I need a laugh.

You know you're a writer when you finally finish that document you've been anagonizing over, take a look at the first three sentences, rant about the horrid grammar and whatever, then trash it.

You know you're a writer when you frantically look for said document the next day, saying that you need it 'cause it was sooooo good.

...

you continuously post comments in everyone's Status on their Facebooks.

you simply can't resist posting said comments in everyone's Facebooks.

you begin wondering if you're friends think you have zilch for a life because it's now painfuly obvious by all the posts on Facebook, you're on your comp quite a bit.

you actually submitted a short story as a Posted Item on your own Facebook just to see all the atrocious comments by your friends.

you can't stay away from your comp more than six hours or withdrawls erupt. Thus, you become a sack of raging hormones.

You know your a writer when you get so insane when you lose a piece of writing, you start insulting non writers for not feeling enough sympathy for you. You are so sad & mad that you even write a poem.
That's a true story. All down to the poem, and it happened a couple of minutes ago.
Hey, this gave me an idea! We should write a book on this, 101 ways you know you're a writer.

Lol, that would be awesome.

You know you're a writer when you decide, "I'm going to write a horror story," but your characters beg so much that you just have to let them live. Thus, you end up writing a love story. Go figure.

You know you're a writer when you are extremely paranoid in every situation, no matter how small...
then you warp it and turn it into a story O.O

You know you're a writer when all of the unsuccessful RPGs you create turn into epic novels-in-progress.
