Speaking of which, I posted this in the old one. I'm saying it again anyway.

You know you're a writer if you write lame fantasies about you and your crush when you're in an especially lovesick mood.


message 52: by [deleted user] (new)

You know you're a writer if it totally makes your life that someone was asking about your favorite charrie and wanted to read the story they're in.

Yes, Dayna, you made my life.

Isaac | 8014 comments You know you're a writer when you cry over the death of a character you wrote.

This has sadly happened to me....


message 54: by [deleted user] (new)

Sad. *sniffle*


message 55: by Isaac (new)

Isaac | 8014 comments Yes, and he was my favorite.


message 56: by [deleted user] (new)

You know you're a writer if you can make yourself cry with what you write. I cry so much sometimes.

I did that once. I didn't have my phone with me, though, so I wrote it out on my friend's phone and she sent it to me.

tesni (akhmatova) | 5031 comments You know you're a writer when you know you ought to kill a main character off, but you spend a week in emotional hell toying with the idea because you can't bear to part with them, and you eat very little for two days after you've finally decided to do away with them.


message 63: by [deleted user] (new)

I cried when Jade left Hayden...

You know you're a writer if you carry a big binder around everywhere you go, just in case you get inspired.


message 66: by [deleted user] (new)

You know you're a writer if you suffer along with your characters.


message 67: by Laura (new)

Laura  | 911 comments You know you're a writer if you dream about your characters.


message 68: by Isaac (new)

Isaac | 8014 comments You know you're a writer when you yell at people to be quiet when you finally get inspiration so you can remember the story.

Isaac | 8014 comments I've lost so many ideas like that....


message 71: by [deleted user] (new)

Oh, I know, me too.


message 72: by [deleted user] (new)

You know you're a writer if you spend way too much time on goodreads. DOH!

Isaac | 8014 comments ^TRUE DAT, TRUE DAT^

tesni (akhmatova) | 5031 comments I posted this on the old thread, but you know you're a writer if you're torn between spending your evenings writing and RPing on the internet.

You know you're a writer when no guy can live up to your standards... except for the ones you create.


message 82: by [deleted user] (new)

Indeed.


message 83: by Elliott (new)

Elliott | 22634 comments Mod
That's why I'm not ever going to get married.


message 84: by [deleted user] (new)

:) I don't want to get married. I want to travel and see the world and eat and write and read and speak.


message 85: by Elliott (new)

Elliott | 22634 comments Mod
I don't know if I want to get married or not... but my standards are so high, I highly doubt I'll find anyone who meets them. So.

*sigh* That's so true... Fox was perfect. :'-(


Jordan, The Picture Magician (aka Probie) (thepicturemagicianakaprobie) | 2218 comments You know ur a writer if your writing when a bunch of people are around and theyre talking abut you and then someone says "Right, (insert name here)?" and you,completely oblivious, go "Yeah" then eveyone starts cracking up and your like, "What?"

tesni (akhmatova) | 5031 comments You know you're a writer if you keep little scraps of paper folded up in your pencilcase so that you can write while you're meant to be doing school/homework.


message 90: by Acacia (new)

Acacia (acaciaa) You know you're a writer if you look at the clock and go, "Wow, 11 PM? It's still pretty early!"

I stopped being depressed ages ago, darling. And it's okay because it made me just sad kind of depressed, not clinically depressed. Ehehe.

Oh yeah. Boys, you cannot compete with Mitch. Or Shay, for that matter.

It'll be okay Cassie. *shoulder pat*

Hehehe. This probably makes no sense to outsiders... *shifty eyes*


message 97: by [deleted user] (new)

You know you're a writer if you are going to make a GR account (or Facebook, Myspace, etc) for one or more of your characters. (Maxy, you know you are going to do this with me.)


message 98: by [deleted user] (new)

You know you're a writer when you stay up until 3 in the morning to write a scene you just thought of, even though you have to get up at 8 the next morning (me last night)

Haha me every night... Stay up till 2 and wake up at six..


message 100: by Isaac (new)

Isaac | 8014 comments This isn't for writing, but for being obsessed...
You know you're obsessed:
With a song because you've not only memorized the lyrics by heart, you've memorized what the music does too.
With a movie because you've memorized numerous lines and/or scenes.
With a person 'cause you know everything that a normal person wouldn't know.
(All of which sadly has happened to me: Phantom of the Opera [first two:] and Harrison Ford... WHO JUST GOT MARRIED. *gasp*)
