You know you're a writer if...

[Elliott]

I have plans for one person to die in After Abby
A couple people to die in Bring Me Back to Song
One person to die in What Happens Now

[Isaac]

I have a plan to kill one person in Heartbeat.

[Elliott]

Which story is Heartbeat?

[[deleted user]]

I have a character that's dead at the beginning of the story, and then I kill a main character off in the dystopian novel I need to write.

My failed NaNo that hasn't been updated in almost four months.

[Brigid ✩, No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader.]

I believe out of the eight novels I've written, someone died in the first chapter of all of them except ... three. And in two of those three, someone died at the end instead. And people died in some of the other five too. So ... yeah. I don't find it that sad when people die at the beginning of a book.

[Maria [the clockwork creeps on useless lives], Butts butts]

Dystopian? That would be interesting.

I..."

Yesh! I will get to writing that once I'm done (hopefully?) with FTOC.

[Elliott]

That's what I'm planning on with my dsytopian story.

What's your dystopian story? I have not heard this D:

[Elliott]

The one where music is banned? I thought you'd read at least a couple chapters of it...

[[deleted user]]

Oh yeah! I forgot. YOU NEED TO WRITE IT, WOMAN.

[Mandy]

I love that story so flipping much it kills me.

[Christine]

You know your a writing when you dream about your characters.

Btw to all of these :Story of my life

[Mandy]

OR WHEN YOU DREAM OF OTHER CHARACTERS.

Just popping in. =P

I could not imagine a world without music. It was totally like that in Riding Tycho, though, and it had a really subtle but entirely disturbing effect on the story.

YES

[Elliott]

Indeed. Basically anything creative is banned, so there's no art or creative writing.

You fine a whole story in a word. You can write a story one almost anything. You can spend hours writing by a dim light. Sleep seems less important that writing. Or, you can't imagin not being able to write.

[Isaac]

That was beautiful.

[PyroLily ~Qui scribit bis legit~]

Thanks.

Dude. I need to learn from you. How do you put words like that?

I don't know. Writing is just what I love. How I word what I write isn't something I just know how to do.

It's kinda fantastic.

You know you're a writer if you go to an amusement park and pretty much all you could think about was how cute on of your character couples would be on a date there.

[Isaac]

I. DO. THAT. Except...not at amusement parks, because I haven't been to one in forever.

I think about what my character would be thinking if she was there.....close enough =D

Yes, to them all! Gah I don't know if I should be scared about that or not. How do you know me so well...? Oooooh! Maybe you... *totally got a great plot line!* LOL

You know you're a writer if your stomach is growling and it's around the time when you usually fix yourself a snack and your piano lesson is in a few minutes so you really should hurry up and eat but you can't tear yourself away from your editing.

I JUST EXPERIENCED THAT MYSELF.

[Isaac]

*nods*

[Terra]

You know you're a writer if you have dreams about writing your story, and wake up actually writing it.

[Terra]

You know you're a writer if you win a writing contest, and get to go to the Bahamas just by writing a five word story. This is totally unrealistic, of course, but I just wanted to put this. :)

[Brigid ✩, No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader.]

You know you're a writer if you start to wonder what your character is doing right now, and then remember your characters aren't real ...

[Shreya=Drastically Random. Find the emoticon.]

*ahem*

You know you're a writer if you say you'll only be writing for 15 minutes, and it ends up being 1 hour.

[Emily]

You know you're a writer when you talk to your characters in math, journey through your world(s) in history, incorporate lessons in science to your fledgling plot and rules, and somehow make all English assignments (somehow) relate to your story. Yeah. That's how.

[Brigid ✩, No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader.]

You know you're a writer when you're thinking way too hard about your Playwriting assignment because you can't just use any old idea, and you have to come up with an idea for a play by Monday DAMMIITTTTT.

[Abigail]

you know if you're a writer if suddenly in the middle of a lesson you have the feeling you just feel you need to write (writers instinct?)

Yes ma'am.

[Grace]

you know you're a writer if you start thinking your thoughts like a book or poetry.

^^ I DO THAT lol

[Isaac]

@Destiny: Me too.

You know if you're a writer if you fall in love with a character that otherwise you would find totally repulsive if they were real.

(E.g., my serial killer character. He's actually pretty adorable. :3)

[tesni]

You know you're a writer if you refer to the seasons of the year as Winter, Spring, Summer and SJFHVASKRFG NANOWRIMO AND THE PRECEEDING PREPARATION PANIC AHHHH WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO.
