You might be a writer if

  • you read something and immediately find yourself thinking they did it wrong and building the story you think it should have been
  • you think in narrative
  • your characters are more real to you than the people you work with in your day job
  • …and not just because you know them better
  • your spouse/partner knows better than to disturb you when you’re deep in story
  • your cats know better than to disturb you when you’re deep in story
  • your typing speed varies depending on the type of scene your writing
  • you get out of breath writing a fight scene
  • you scare people who see you when you’re writing because your face shows the emotions of your point-of-view character
  • you’re still reading this and going “yep… yes… that one too… yep… damn it how does she know what I do when I write?”
