You know you're a writer if you're already planning who you'll mention in the acknowledgements when or if your book is published.

This is why I love this group. It proves that I'm not insane, or that if I am, I'm not the only one...
:) You're not the only one. It's good to be insane to an extent.

Those are words to live by.
You know when you're a writer when you threaten people by saying things like "watch it or I won't include you in my acknowledgments" before you get your book published. Or before you finish the book.
You know you're a writer when every funny thing that happens, or every good line is said...you think about how to add it into your story to make sense. You also know when every thing you see around you can add to your ideas.
You know you're a writer when you spend way too much time thinking about who will be cast when your book is made into a movie instead of writing said book that isn't even finished yet.

You know you're a writer when you've spent months laboring over the same chapter because you REFUSE TO WRITE FROM A GIRL'S POINT OF VIEW and IT HAS TO SOUND LIKE A GUY!!
Yep.You know you're a writer when you plan out a long story on the terrible death of the shallow slut who made you cry...Yep.
Wouldn't it?? Sadly, I can't write gore like that...On my first day in this group, I tried to write one about Baxter...I failed. Haha good thing we're friends now.
Was Baxter a shallow slut that made you cry?
THAT MADE ME LAUGH SO HARD!!!! Haha thanks for making my day a million times better. Seriously. :'D
Emily -The Rabbit Keeper wrote: ":) You're not the only one. It's good to be insane to an extent."This is best summed up with a quote from Inkheart by Cornelia Funke: "So what? All writers are lunatics!"
So that's why I get along so well with other writers.

You know you're a writer when you're in an uncomfortable situation, and you simply close your eyes and talk to your characters. Then everything is better.
Emily -The Rabbit Keeper wrote: "You know you're a writer when you spend way too much time thinking about who will be cast when your book is made into a movie instead of writing said book that isn't even finished yet."Same here. *hangs head shamefully*
You know you're a writer when your parents forced you off Goodreads but you came back for this group.

Don't worrry, we won't. Your secret is safe with us.
You know you are a writer when you agonize over the ending, trying to get it perfect.
You know you're a writer when you signed up for NaNoWriMo last night and you're extremely pumped for it.
You know you are a writer when you daydream getting the Newberry Honor Award.

You know you are a writer when you have like 12 notebooks filled with ideas and story passages that you haven't used yet.
