You know you're a writer when...



Who needs clothes and make-up when you can buy that pen, and that book that will help you become a better writer and which gives healthy advices?

How else are you supposed to write down all the important thoughts that pops up when you least expects it?

If you see more than one, you get angsty and don't know which one you should buy. Often it ends with you buying them both because you consider it an investment.

It doesn't matter if you're just out for a walk, or have a deep conversation with your best friend. In some way, your brain is already working to replace the name, the places and the conversation so that it fits your characters.

Nothing stops your writing, not even the knowledge that you're supposed to be in school/work in three hours and you haven't slept a thing.

And when they ask you say; "Oh you know that..." and then it's still no one who understands.

The way that author wrote, or how this writer always uses exactly those words. No matter what you read it's always something you notice and then can't let go. Mostly because you don't know you've noticed it.

"No, I can't right now, I have to finish this chapter!"

Instead of doing what you should, you write on that new idea you got, so fast so it won't disappear. If you aren'y writing you're sitting and staring out the window/at the watch in despar, and doubt yourself as an author and started to question whether or not you've got writer's block.

You can sit for hours and just stare and think about nothing in general, and poeple sometimes wonder if you're dead.
