      You know you’re a writer when…. You know what? Just look at your Google search history. You’ll know.

      Yes!!¡!!!! The only people who look up tortures, injuries, and the most random  stuff are either people who research more than breathe or are writers. XD we’re just so special

        You know you’re a writer when you cringe reading books you used to love because they told everything instead of showing.

        You know you’re a writer when you can sit for hours staring at nothing while making up stories or working on a particularly interesting scene.

        You know you’re a writer when you enjoy learning about Communist China because you might base a dystopian novel off of it someday.

          You know you’re a writer when someone uses literally when they meant figuratively and it takes all your self control to keep from scolding them.

            Lol this looks like fun, yall have some really good ones.

             

            You know when you’re a writer when you can no longer fully enjoy mainstream movies… because you see through every plot hole.

              You know you’re a writer when you know long words and old words, but not modern slang.

              You know you’re a writer when you find a fantastic stick on a walk and immediately pick it up and decide you’re on a quest, then procede to bring it home while dramatically twirling it and holding it in the air triumphantly.

                  You know you’re a writer when your dad walks into the house and mentions a mist down the road, and you immediately imagine that it’s the poisonous mist you read about in a book that’s turns people to zombies.

                  This occurred moments ago…

                    Lol… we were hiking through the fog one time and it gave me the warm fuzzies because it made me think of mystery novels. My dad was just mad because he couldn’t see the mountains we were supposed to be seeing, and to this day he still doesn’t understand why I liked the fog XD.

                      You know you’re a writer when your father is discussing political events and you’re mind immediately tries to figure out how to integrate the events in your latest plot.

                      You know you’re a writer if something terrible happens to you and your first thought is “I can put this in a book!”

                      You know you’re a writer when you meet rude or weird people and you decide to use them as a template for your next villain.

                        You know you’re a writer when you start seeing people that look like your characters in public.

                        (Y’all, this has happened to me way too many times. 🫣😂 There’s even a little boy at church who looks and acts exactly like one of my charries would at that age. It’s ridiculous 🤣)

                          I hear you!

                          You know you’re a writer when you hear your character’s name at church and you look around to see if they’ve actually walked through the doors.

                          This has happened more than once to me ….

                              There is a boy at my co-op who ridiculed one of my characters, so he is one of the main villains now. 😝So there!

                                You know you’re a writer when hearing someone misuse “literally” makes you figuratively want to pull your hair out.

                                You know you’re a writer when you talk to a spatula. (His name is Bob, he’s 33, and he’s a vegetarian.)

                                You know you’re a writer when you kept your pacifiers until you were 8, not because you used them, but because they all had names and personalities.

                                You know you’re a writer when you get caught writing a story at co-op instead of taking notes.

                                  @theducktator Literally! (LOL)

                                  also that’s cool, Bob sounds like he has a nice life.

                                  hehe my brother called his pacifier “Ash” for some reason? He didn’t literally name it, he just said the word that way for some reason lol

                                  My co-op notes were full of cute dinosaur characters giving their opinions on logic and Spanish.
