You know you are a writer when:
- You are a hoarder of office supplies. The perfect tipped pen is worth more to you than a new car.
- You are attracted to strange characters, not for yourself but for your writing. And they get tired of you dissecting their life.
- You are the one asking all the strange questions. “Tell me a little bit more about that naked in the wrong locker room dream.”
- The right combination of words sometimes is better than sex.
- People often catch you talking to yourself, when it’s actually an argument with a character in your mind. Some of them will not shut up!
- You don’t get mad at people, you simply add them to your novel with the specific intention of killing them off.
- You freak your friends out because you are constantly carrying a small notebook with you. Especially when in mid conversation, you chuckled stop and write something down.
- All your friends go running when you mention the dreaded “writer’s block,” because that is all you will talk about until it is gone.
- You think it is perfectly normal to stalk the couple in the restaurant in the airport arguing to overhear their conversation.
- You think daydreaming is completely normal, especially when you have something to write down afterwards.
- You are great friends with the cashier at the bookstore, but can’t remember your child’s teacher’s first name.
- A sale at Barnes and Noble is better than sex.
- You have to have a grieving process when you finish a great book, either one you read or one you wrote.
- Your delete key is the most worn key on your computer.
- Someone besides your family members reads your blogs.
