You know you're a writer when you get random ideas for awesome stories at the most inconvenient time possible, like when you're giving a vital test.

It's happened to me before...

or the cool eyes of sea-gazers. -EB

Wow, nobody's posted here in a while... Oh, well. *shrugs*

You know you're a writer when something terrible happens to a friend and one of the things you think when you're capable of speech or thought is that it would make a good plot twist.

You know you're a writer when you use your pen name more often than your real name!

There is no such thing as a stranger. Only friends we haven't met yet.

You know you're a writer when you think the voices in your head would make a cool character quirk...

You know you're a writer when you carry at least 3 notebooks around at all times, for when the unexpected inspiration hits. And at least a case of pens, for the same reason. :)

You know you're a writer when you willingly get out of your nice warm bed to write ideas down!

You know that you're a writer when you think up a theory which explains how everything we write about is real.

You know you're a writer when you buy a word processor app for your phone so you can continue writing when you're in transit.

This one happened to me this morning...

You know you're a writer when you have an absolutely horrific dream, but after you've woken up and recovered, you think what an awesome story idea it would be--bonus points if the dream was coherent enough to actually have a plotline. :wink:

You know you're a writer when the only reason to sleep is so that you can have some peace and quiet to think up of plot lines in those one or two hours before you actually do sleep.

That's my dilemma almost everyday, lol.

YKYAWW you think of the replies from the publishers if you were to ever send in your life-story for print.

You know you're a writer when you click on this thread...

You know you're a writer when you see peole on the street who look like a character of yours and proceed to tell them.
Listen up!
The future is bulletproof!
The aftermath is secondary!
It's time to do it now and do it loud!

You know you're a writer when one word your friend says happens to trigger a thought about a plotline/character and you don't hear the rest of the conversation because your developing it in your head.....
