You know you're a writer when...

You know your a writer when you go into battle mode when ever time you see chat speak.

You know your a writer when you stare for ages at a total stranger thinking how amazing they would be for a character.

(I don't do this on a daily basis lol)

You know you're a writer when you use semicolons in your class notes.

You know you're a writer when while all of your classmates are grumbling about the one writing prompt your Language Arts teacher assigned you, you're annoyed that she hasn't given you more.

You know your a writer, when you read a book every time you see a grammatical mistake you want to go to the editor and point it out.

You know you're a writer when people constantly ask you the definition of words.

You know you're a writer when your doodles have footnotes.

You know you're a writer if you sat here and read this entire thread so you could see how every single one of these things is true and applies to your life.

^^Guilty^^

You know you're a writer when while everyone is listening to the top ten songs on their Ipods, you are listening to Randy Ingermanson lecture on the craft of fiction.
Umm, yeah.

I subscribed to his newsletter, but I can't get any of the other stuff. My mom says maybe, when I get something published. Eh.

You know you're a writer when you scan any book at all. When you see a spelling mistake or grammatical error, you dance in triumph and point at it, yelling, "Hah! I found you! I found you!" or something to that extent.

*cough* Was reading Ashes of the Worlds by Kevin J. Anderson. Spotted a typo. Another was spelled as anotherr.

I didn't read through the entire thread, so I'm sorry if I repeat something.

You know you're a writer when...

You see a blank notebook and think it would be great for a certain plot that's been hanging around you for a while.

Your hand twitches when you see blank paper. *MUST WRITE*

You go to a store with the intent of buying something like fasteners/scrapbooking materials for your project but end up buying a notebook/pad of paper and a pen as well.

You can sit for hours staring at the wall, making people think your brain shut down when you're actually thinking about the new plot that just occurred to you or talking to the new character who appeared out of the blue.

You feel like banging your head on the wall if you can't write anything.

You know you're a writer when your sister talks about how she watched a movie, then read the book based on the movie. The she tells you that the movie was sadder 'cause movies are always sadder because you can see what's going on. THEN you lecture her about how if books are written well enough, they very well can be more emotional. You prove her wrong! "As a writer, _______ is offended." Your parents joke trying to calm your bewildered little sis'.

Me? Nooo....ya.

You know when you are a writer when you are in a PowerPoint Presentation Show with games made on the PowerPoint and instead of paying attention to the game you are logging on the YWS to check the new literary addictions...

You know you're a writer when on your computer, you made a 'My Writing' folder to go with the 'My Pictures, My Music, etc.'

You know you're a writer when that folder is bigger than any other.

You know you're a writer when your computer automatically bookmarks writing sites because you visit them so much.

You know you're a writer when you make those bookmarks on your own.
