You know you're a writer when you join your brothers in running barefoot through the snow and then describe the feeling of your feet to yourself afterwards.  |

You know you're a writer when you keep a pen tucked behind your ear during the day.

You know you are a writer when you're sick so you go to bed and try to figure out story problems.

You know you're a writer when you go to the Cardiologist for a checkup and mentally note all the devices they are attaching to you, and following each wire up to it's monitor screen.

Or when you go to the dentist and are mentally describing the process of half your face becoming numb.  |

Or when you actually like it when things go numb, so you can try to figure out how to function without them and which character to inflict that torture upon. |

You know you're a writer when you take the strange looking dessert everyone else is avoiding and say it looks adventurous. (This happened to me once- and I wasn't feeling so adventurous after the first bite.  ) |

This isn't necessarily limited to writers, but will someone please tell me I'm not the only one to wake up in the middle of the night with an arm that is so completely numb I cannot move it... or find it? It's normally slung over my head, which must pinch some sort of nerve enough to stop all the feeling, but it can be a little unnerving to seriously not be able to find your arm! |

Not sure if that's happened to me yet... |

You know you're a writer when your poor nonwriter friend tunes in to hear you and a writer friend talking about blind dragons and fire breath echolocation.

You know you're a writer when you spend half an hour deciding wether the word 'cerulean' or 'azure' best describes your hero's eyes.
And yes, Corissa, I have woken up not able to find my arm. And once I fell asleep on the floor writing, and when I woke up I also couldn't feel my whole left leg. Spooky!

You know you're a writer when you spend an hour settling on a name for a top secret organization and then change the name of the leader/founder's dead wife to match, so that it has extra meaning to him. In case your curious, the secret organization is called NAN- Nunc aut Nunquam, Latin for "Now or Never." The lady's name was changed from Ariel to Nanette- and her nationality changed from English to French. Funny the changes your poor characters undergo before you even start officially writing the book! |
