1, 2, 6, 9, 11, 12 (but not as much anymore, I'm proud to say. Actually, almost never anymore. But I acknowledge that I have had this issue.), 13, 14, 19, and 20.

That's still only 50%. I fail.

lol, the whole point is to add more 4laugh

You know you're a writer when you consider carpal tunnel not a serious medical issue, or an occupational hazard, but simply a sign that it's time to get a better keyboard.

Rofl, I think this one is my favorite so far

You know you're a writer when you place gaining wisdom about the craft above any social and personal considerations(including being exposed as an ignorant wretch).

I am certainly not above exposing my own preconceptions to the clensing flames of reality, and if a writer wishes to better their character writing skills, neither should they

You know you're a writer when...
...you take any chance during school to write down your story into your notebook. Heck, you'd even skip lunch if you're writing an epic battle between your character.

A lot of these apply to me, but not so much #12. I might wonder people might criticize a certain character, but I don't especially get upset. I like my characters and I have fun writing them. Sure, if people have ways to improve them, that's one thing. But if they just don't like the character(s), then that's their opinion. ^^
Other than that, a lot of these little statements hit the nail on the head for me.
...I'm wondering if it's a good thing or a bad thing. -shifty eyes-

You know you are a writer when you begin to add your characters' birthdays to your calandar and celebrate them too...

You know you're a writer when you take your tape recorder to a Shadowrun session, just in case something in-game gives you an idea for your stories.

You know you're a writer when you can write legibly with your left hand even though you're naturally right-handed (or vice versa), because you couldn't let hand cramps get in the way of inspiration. LOL

It's the story of my life.

You know you write too much when you want to get your shoulder-length hair cut short because it gets in the way during those epic battle scenes.

Guilty.

Oh man, I can't believe how many of those apply to me.

Lets see here...

You know you're a writer when:


- That math assignment can be fit into the span of the bus ride to school, you didn't have time to do it last night. You were busy scribbling down the latest story.

-Lack of sleep means more inspiration to keep writing off of. Those hallucinations your having? They aren't hallucinations, you just have an over active imagination.

Hm a lot of those apply to me too crying

Well...

You know you're a writer when 70% of your hard drive space is full of 'ideas' for stories, and the other near 30% are half finished ones.

And I guess...

You know you're a writer when you hear a song you never wanted to hear again and already have 10 pages of plot summary running through your head.

sweatdrop these are my sad truths
