“T” is for Ten Ways to Know When You’re a Writer

Hi, everyone!  This post is part of the A-Z challenge. Please take time to visit the other blogs that are participating.

You know you’re a writer when:

 

• You accidentally sign your Last Will and Testament using your pen name.

• You know more than 10 synonyms for the word “walk”.

• You eavesdrop in public, listening for new dialogue.

• You “edit” your 8^th grader’s term paper and turn it into a historical novella.

• You would rather talk to the people in your head than the ones sitting next to you.

• You mentally edit other people’s dialogue, and add tags.

• You argue with your characters…and lose.

• Finishing a scene or chapter is more important than sleep, eating or bathroom breaks.

• You end an argument by saying, “Oh my gosh, that was brilliant! I need to write that down.  What did you say again?”

• Your therapist thinks it’s therapeutic for you to listen to the voices in your head and write about them.
