You MIght Be a Writer/Reader If..........

This is a post from a few years ago, and I decided to resurrect it in a new way. Here we go.
The New Year has just gotten underway, and I wanted to have a little fun. I’ve been reading “You might be a writer IF…” posts and cracking up. I’ve decided to make up a few myself and then throw it out to you great readers to come up with your own.

[image error] If someone with a cold tells you he's blocked and you suggest he read a good book until his muse returns...you might be a writer.

If you have a special gadget on your night stand that lights up when you pull out the pen for writing down great dialogue that comes to you at two AM….you might be a writer.

If for two solid weeks, you eat bologna sandwiches and Hostess HoHOs because that’s what your heroine likes…..you might be a writer.

If you’re convinced your writing sucks one day, then dream about how brilliant you are the next….you might be a writer.

If you love finding unusual ways of killing people…you might be a writer.

[image error] If your TBR pile is higher than a crackhead neighbor…you might be a writer.

If when you read a book, you wonder why they’re published and you’re not…you might be a writer.

If when you read a book you are ready to give up your dream because you’ll never be as good as XXX…you might be a writer.

If someone tells you they got a request for a full and you don’t say full what?...you might be a writer.

If your idea of romance is keeping two people apart for a long time and making them as miserable as you can, you might be a writer.

If someone mentions your voice is weak when you have laryngitis and you rush home to hone up on your craft….you might be a writer.

If you think every herring is red…you might be a writer. (I stole this one!!)

If you start crying because of something you’ve done to a fictitious character….you might be a writer.

And my favorite one:

If you are on the watch list for Homeland Security because you researched weapons of mass destruction and terrorism,,,.you might be a writer.

I do or have done all of the above. Oh hell! I’m a writer.

I decided to do a you might be a reader if… A lot of the writer ones would fit as well.
If you believe you actually know the characters in a book personally…you might be a reader.

If you keep on buying books despite the fact that you have absolutely no more room on the bookshelves, you might be a reader.

If you get the shakes when you pass by a bookstore and not go in, you might be a reader.
If you are still weepy hours after you’ve finished a book, you are definitely a reader!!!
And my favorite—If you base your relationships on whether a man reads or not, you might be a reader. Now let me hear yours/ writer or reader ones.
