You know you're a writer when...

I've never seen one, but I read that someone invented a glow-in-the-dark clipboard.

You know you're a writer when...

...Whenever you listen to a song, you visualize scenes that could be going on in relationship to the music.
...You literally cringe when anyone uses text-speak of any kind.
...You want to beat yourself with a frying pan when you accidentally use text-speak.

Story of my life.

When you bring a notebook to a football game you're supposed to be playing pep music

You know you're a writer when the worst thing someone could do to you is borrow one of your pencils and not return it. My high school friends knew all about that...

Also, you spend hours backing up your writing, and you have to have everything completely organized into individual folders and chapters. Or maybe that's just OCD...

You know you're a writer when you have absolutely no superstitions or 'lucky' items, but you still have one special pen that you use for writing manuscripts...and you flip out if your housemate doesn't put the cap back on that pen after using it.

You know you're a writer when you act out fight scenes by yourself and even have fake swords, daggers, axes, etc. for it. Don't look at me like that!! I am not the only one here with a cape and fingerless gloves. Admit it!!

You know you're a writer when . . .

You reply events of the day in you're head and then changing them to be more dramatic.

This: "Timmy, calm down."

Becomes, : "Timmy.... If you don't calm the heck down I will slit you're throat."

You know you're a writer when you've become so engrossed in your own world of creativity, you're life unwittingly becomes the foundation of a next chapter of a story, or a new piece of work altogether. Writing becomes the pillar of support in your life, without it, your world crumbles, and writer's block becomes your worst nightmare! ^_^

You know you're a writer when you've been published and been paid to y'know, write.

...you narrate your life in the third person....
...you wake up in the morning and race to the computer to see if anyone posted on the SB overnight...
...You have dreams at night that would be awesome for a story, so you wake up and write it down....

You know you're a writer when you take a notebook and a pen with you when you go places, even if you know you won't have a chance to use them; you take them because they comfort you.

Agree. You know your a writer when... You write in first person pov because you get more attached to your character.

2. You write things that stir emotion in you and you don't know why.

3. You love and care about your characters, yes, you even have a sliver of your heart for the villains.

4. You cry when your favorite character HAS to die.

5. You suddenly like essays because you understand writing, grammar, English.

6. Writing is therapy to you ( it is for me at times.)

Yes, I'm a writer!

You know you're a writer when you feel naked without a pen.

When coffee, tea and any other caffeinated beverages are your favorite drinks.

^ No, that's a university student.
