@kate-flournoy Same here. XD So many of my passwords mix weird names and initials from the project I’m working on, along with random encouragement. I think a NaNo one ran something along the lines of ‘I can and I will’. XD
INTJ - Inhumane. No-feelings. Terrible. Judgment and doom on everyone.
July 20, 2017 at 4:35 pm #37782You know you’re a writer when you narrate your characters alone and your dog glances at you like you’re crazy.

July 20, 2017 at 7:08 pm #37786@Dragon-Snapper yes… you also know you’re a writer when you have to explain to your chiropractor that your hip is out of place because you slipped and fell on your hardwood floor… while choreographing a fight scene. 😛
July 20, 2017 at 7:40 pm #37788@dragon-snapper Lol! Us writers are crazy, and even our pets know it.
@kate-flournoy *cringes* There can be no doubt, you are a writer. ;P
You know you’re a writer when your friends and family end up getting written into your stories.Blog: https://weridasusual.home.blog/
July 20, 2017 at 8:38 pm #37793You know you are a writer when you accidentally touch an electric fence, but after the pain is over, are actually kind of happy because now you can describe electrocutions so much more realistically.
This may or may not have just happened to me ten minutes ago. 😮

July 20, 2017 at 8:50 pm #37794OW. Now your poor future characters… 😮
July 20, 2017 at 9:57 pm #37820Oh, this is one of my favorite threads.
@kate-flournoy @ethryndal *winces* The sacrifices we make for our craft…You know you are a writer when your siblings say something and you think, “Ooo, I need to put that in a book someday.”
You know you are a writer when your mom is late to a church service, and you immediately think that she has been kidnapped by aliens or something equally awful.
July 20, 2017 at 10:07 pm #37821I do that. @ethryndal Not literally. Most of the time.

July 26, 2017 at 10:58 am #38194You know you’re a writer when you start talking in the voice of one of your characters. Or when you see something and think “Oh, [insert character’s name here] would love this!”

July 26, 2017 at 11:04 am #38195@daughteroftheking Yes! Or when you are doing something unrelated to writing, and think “This is something [insert character’s name here] would say. And then [insert other character’s name here] would say such and such in response to that.”
July 26, 2017 at 11:13 am #38196You know you’re a writer when you read a book and get really mad at the author because they used a word wrong or didn’t add a comma in the right place…or if they stole one of your character’s names.

July 26, 2017 at 1:11 pm #38200You know you are a writer when you stub your toe and your first thought is “Perfect! Now I can act out my character’s death scene!” So you crumple to the floor, clutch your “fatal” wound, say a heart-wrenching farewell to the other characters, and “die.”

July 26, 2017 at 2:18 pm #38201I just thought you all should know that in a recent conversation with my mother, you all were referred to as “my little Kapeefer friends”… @aratrea @kate-Flournoy @graciegirl @ethryndal @jane-maree @christi-eaton
