I should probably start doing that.

YES. To every single one of those.

You know you're a writer if when you are going to France and your parents give you a day to choose what to do, you go to the cemetery so you can get names and guess what their lives were like.

Yes, yes, yes, to all of them.


Jordan, The Picture Magician (aka Probie) (thepicturemagicianakaprobie) | 2218 comments You know you're a writer when you suddenly say "Stop! Idea!" and all your friends shut up and let you think.

You know you're a writer if you procrastinate.

CONSTANTLY.

No. If you don't do these things it does not mean that you're not a writer, just if you do these things you're reminded that you're a writer.

I hate procrastinating too...but then sometimes I end up doing it anyway :P

You know you're a writer if you should be asleep right now and you aren't.


message 65: by tesni (new)

tesni (akhmatova) | 5031 comments *whispers* yes.

Or else doing my homework.
Or both.
I have a Russian lesson at ten tomorrow.
It's twenty to eleven and I haven't even looked at my homework yet ^_^

You know you're a writer if even in your dream last night, you were thinking "I should be writing my novel right now!"

All the time XD


Shreya=Drastically Random. Find the emoticon. | 1078 comments AAAAAAH SO TRUEEEEEE


You know you're a writer if you get really mad when you have to write a story that's 1 page long for school, because that is TOO SHORT. ARGH =(

You know you're a writer if you look in bookstores/libraries for the place on the bookshelf where your book would be if it were published. (At my local library it'd be between a book called "A Taste for Quiet" and a collection of short stories called "Gothic!" I've checked the spot sooo many times. Haha.)


Shreya=Drastically Random. Find the emoticon. | 1078 comments Haha that's awesome =D

You know you're a writer when you have a folder on your email titled "Writing".


message 73: by tesni (new)

tesni (akhmatova) | 5031 comments You know you're a writer if you have a conversation with your friends go like this:

Friend: How's your book coming along?
You: Which one?
Friend: Oh, whichever one you're working on at the moment.

You know you're a writer if most of your closest friends are people you met on Goodreads. XD

AnnaRose (book-thief) | 1 comments So true.
You know your a writer when you spend half your day worrying about making your book & you also know your a good writer when you read a book and realize no one you know is as cool as the characters in a book.

*like*


You know you're a writer if your friend asks you about how many words would fit on a page in Microsoft Word and you automatically say "Three-hundred and twenty." and it turns out that you were off by three.

Also, along with some other friends on Ravelry, if they're the only friends you spoke to over the Christmas holidays.
Which either means that I just don't see my *real-life* friends often enough, or, you're all just awesome and we have more in common.

Mine is because you're all more awesome and we have more in common. I see my friends every day and ramble about writing. It goes in one ear and out the other. Every. Single. Time.

Talia | 605 comments You know if you're a writer if you're here. Period.

I know how it feels. :P


message 83: by OliviaJo (new)

OliviaJo | 27 comments You know you're a writer if you get an idea in the worst moment possible, like in the middle of a dance recital, and repeat it over and over in your head like a mantra until whatever you're doing is over; then take a minute to breathe; and then completely forget what it was.


message 84: by OliviaJo (new)

OliviaJo | 27 comments If there is ABSOLUTELY NO PAPER, and you ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO write this idea down, so you write it on your arm.


Maria [the clockwork creeps on useless lives] (mariachhile) | 8772 comments Mod
YESS.

You know you're a writer if...
Yeah, I'm not going to say it. Emmie and Lav know what I'm talking about. Soon I will have the courage to say it.


message 86: by [deleted user] (new)

YOU KNOW YOU'RE A WRITER IF YOU ARE GOING INSANE BECAUSE YOU CAN'T WRITE A FREAKING ESSAY THAT'S DUE TOMORROW.


*headdesking repeatedly in frustration*


message 87: by OliviaJo (new)

OliviaJo | 27 comments AHHH SAME. NOT AN ESSAY BUT STUPID LIT ASSIGNMENT ANYWAY.


message 88: by OliviaJo (new)

OliviaJo | 27 comments :)


message 89: by [deleted user] (new)

I finally wrote the essay. But I'm going to have to turn it in late so I can edit it. *headdesk*

OliviaJo | 27 comments Hurray for being finished, though. (:

I PROBABLY DO BUT I'M NOT SURE EXACTLY WHAT YOU MEANT THERE.

IT DOESN'T MATTER ANYMORE.


Jordan, The Picture Magician (aka Probie) (thepicturemagicianakaprobie) | 2218 comments WHY ARE WE SHOUTING?


Maria [the clockwork creeps on useless lives] (mariachhile) | 8772 comments Mod
