You know you're a writer when...

You know you're a writer when all you think about is a fictional character that you craeted.

p.s. I know it's lame

When you narrorate what you do everyday in your head, when you create characters as you daydream, you set up scenerios in your mind and think of how your new character would handle it, when you are in the shower and all you can think about is what will happen next in your story, when in your dreams your characters seem real, and finally, when you BELIEVE your characters are true people and you love them .

You know you're a writer when you'd rather spend time with your own characters than other people because they're just so much easier to be around.

-You know every single synonym to "nice", "bad", "drop", "walk", "talk", and so on because you look in your thesaurus so much, even though you have a word that works, because you need a word that is amazing--ahem, spectacular.

-You bought a book on punctuation and read it for fun. *guilty*

-Facebook posts make you cry--or want to.

you know you're a writer when the person beside you leaves the room and left behind a paper they wrote and it is FULL of errors. You attempt to resist the urge to edit but you grab their pencil and edit the paper. Then you leave a note saying
"sorry, (name of the person I did this to) I couldn't help myself but edit."

Wow. I relate to practically everything here. Especially the narrating my life in my head thing. Haven't read all of em, so sorry if someone said these!

Oh, and if you write stories as well. Otherwise you may just be an artist too cheap to buy photoshop.
