You know you're a writer when... you try to keep a journal but you find yourself writing stuff that is fictional.

"I woke up today to brilliant light streaming through my windows and to hear birds singing in the nearby tree..." Wait a second... Wasn't it cloudy? Whoops.
Hear me out, there's so much more to life than what you're feeling now. Someday you'll look back on all these days, and all this pain is gonna be invisible. - Hunter Hayes

- when your free time is spent writing and not watching netflix
- when someone wants to talk to you and you look at them but your fingers are still typing
- when the only reason you pause in your scene is to get food

:D :D :D

When something ordinary happens, and you automatically spin it into a creative story.

You know you're a writer when you go to sleep as a great idea comes to your mind, and you can't help but get up at 3 in the morning and hastily write down said idea, in fear that it'll vanish the next day.
"Is there a limit to how much living I can live with my life? How will I know if I've gone too far?
And why did I spend my life savings on sunglasses for a whale?
I shall find the answers... to these questions."

You know you're a writer when: someone mentions someone's name in regular conversation and you just gasp in amazement and are forced to run to your notepad and write it down because it's so absolutely perfect for your character!
Nothing to see here, puny mortals. Move along.

When you're not afraid of numbers anymore, because you've read so many novels and such that getting to 65 isn't a huge accomplishment anymore. D: Also, when numbers used to scare you... that's a huge writers trait, I'm sure.......

When you pretty much have the hang of the art of putting your hair up with a pencil (because who hasn't wondered how they do that?)
You cannot train yourself to notice,
To feel pain, and swallow fear

You know you're a writer when; you start to predict the outcome of random events and are actually right.

When:
1. You get really annoyed at bad grammar when you read stories.
2. You are CONSTANTLY quoting from books.
3. You are always making up or thinking about philosophical theories in your mind.
We all want to be different, which makes us all the same.

@Mysticalxx: The third one is very true.

You know you're a writer when...

1) instead of telling your experience, you write it.
2) instead of drawing your imagination, you write it.
3) instead of taking harsh comments, you still write and write.
"Writing, though, belongs first to the writer, and then to the reader, to the world.

The subject is a catalyst, a character, but our responsibility is, has to be, to the work."

- David L. Ulin
