You know you're a writer if...
Yeah, it would be hard to live without my parents. But maybe if i had a roommate?
That would be helpful. Especially if she had the patience to get me out of bed every morning.
That would definitely have to be a trait of any roommate I ever have. I just cannot wake up to alarm clocks.
You know you're a writer if you want to kill every single person who disses your favorite character.
Who is your favorite character? *pulls out a notepad to write answer down so as to write a note to self*
Mitchell. Carlos. Dawes.
And no, you can't have him.
And no, you can't have him.
Sigh. But if you're both happy, then I guess I'll just have to live with that. :D
Eh, he's not happy with me. But he's married in my story, so it's all good.
Oh, a married guy. Well, we've all been there before. Actually, I've never written a character old enough to be married.

If somebody disses Rhea, I will...you don't want to know.
No, i don't think I do.One of my friends dissed Hart and I told him I would kill him in his sleep.
B-b-b-but Hart is pure awesomeness! Why would someone diss him? :(
Becuase they have no heart or soul.
Hmm. I have come up with some other reasons:They are not a writer.
They do not recognize his awesomeness.
Their brain had some temporary damage and they weren't thinking clearly.
Exactly.

I don't have any married ones, either. Except Florence & Alistair in the 2010 NaNo with the Constantly Changing Title. Do they count? They're the main character's parents. They play pretty big roles in the flashbacks and such in the book.Aside from those two, I don't really have any other ~important married characters. Most of my characters are too young, or just aren't really in a position to marry.

Wow, actually I can only think of one set of married parents. Who are alive. O_o
I have married parents, but none of the main characters are getting married.

So it's like in the epilogue?
I have no married characters. I usually don't try to put romance into my stories as much as some other writers because a) I suck at writing romance and 2) I feel like everything in romance is so overdone it's hard to not be cliche. Plus, most of my stories take place in situations where romance is out of place. (ex. Prison, being held hostage, etc.)

I can attest that her true love is a cement pole.

You know you're a writer when you have permanent bumps on your fingers from writing with a pencil/pen. (from the pressure of the pencil/pen).
....Or when you can't sleep well at night because all the computer waves are killing your brain cells and making you stay up and be an insomniac and your fingers are in a constant motion of typing.

YES. I have a callous on my thumb from writing.
When everyone you meet, you say to them, "You remind me of so and so." "Who?" They ask. "Oh, one of my characters."

I have the weirdest fingers ever XD
1. They're super long
2. I have the weird bumps from writing.
3. I play violin, so I have weird pads on my left hand and whenever I bang my fingers against something, I feel nothing.
I have callouses on some of the fingertips on my left hand from too much guitar and double bass :D
I have one on my middle finger from pressing too hard on my pencil when I write in "intense mode" ;P
You know when you are a writer when all you can think about is the next scene in your story.

YEAH! *highfive*
STRING INSTRUMENTS FTW.
You know your a writer if you steal your dad's cell phone to take a picture of somebody who looks just like your character.
