You know you are a writer when…

You know you are a writer when…

… your brain never stops creating, even when you are sleeping, because you never leave your characters alone.

… you have something to write with (paper and pen, tablet, cellphone, laptop, tissues) everywhere you go.

… you feel a stab of pain in your stomach every time you see a grammar mistake.

… you feel terribly ashamed when you do a grammar mistake.

… you write because you have to and it doesn’t matter if someone reads what you write.

… you see stories everywhere.

… you feel compelled to imagine prequels, sequels and backstories for characters when you watch a movie.

… you fell in love with heroes, but you fell in love with villains too because you know that a good story needs a strong antagonist.

… you read everything you can because other writer’s minds fascinate you.

… you are never alone, because there’s always a magical world you can live in in your mind.

… sometimes you need to be alone because real world disturbs your inner world.

… you lose track of conversations because you are thinking about your character’s next move.

… you are scared of the blank page but that first complete draft scares you too.

… you feel that everything you write is never good enough.

…

…
