If you've ever gotten in trouble for reading under the blanket... at 3 am... for the 10th time -- you might be a writer.
If you've ever looked at the china cabinet and wondered how many books could fit in there -- you might be a writer.
If you spent a good part of your elementary school career with your nose in the corner for telling tales -- you might be a writer.
If you've ever had to make the choice between food and buying the newest book from your favorite author -- you might be a writer.
If your friends and family think your rolling in it like J.K Rowling, and you know you'd make more money working at McDonald's -- you might be a writer.
If you've ever been accused of being creepy because you take notes while people-watching -- you might be a writer.
If you've ever frantically scoured your house for a pen, then realized you had one in your hair -- you might be a writer.
If growing up, your imaginary friends were way cooler than your real ones -- you might be a writer.
If you have characters in your head, and your doctor has already assured you that you're not schizophrenic -- you might be a writer.
If you already have the entire month of November marked off your calendar -- you might be a writer.
If the words, Dear Author, make you nauseated rather than nauseous -- you might be a writer.
And last but not least
If you've ever corrected the grammar on someone's Tshirt, while they're wearing it-- you might be a writer.
