You Know You're a Writer When Part 2

1. Every social media account you open feels like ripping out another piece of your soul. In other words, you're Voldemort creating horcruxes.

2. Writer's block is the devil.

3. And you secretly know it's an excuse but you will never admit it.

4. You believe this is one of the most romantic gestures of all time.

5. And you want to just live in Belle's library. So bad.

6. These are the villains in your life,

7. You will do this before you die,

8. Let's face it. You relate to Princess Belle on so many levels.

9. You have a special writing place.

10. And sometimes you improvise.

11. You proofread EVERYTHING you write on social media because you've already shared something like this on your wall. And you can't be a hypocrite.

12. This is also true,

13. This is your favorite smell,

14. You are a psychic. Well, whenever you watch TV.

15. Which is why when you find a show that surprises you this happens,

16. You can't help but read rejections this way. At least once. Or ten times.

17. You've handled a rejection by pretending to be okay. We all have to be rejected, right?

18. But when no one's looking . . .

19. Your characters have minds of their own.

 

20. When you actually like what you've just written, you think something must be wrong with you.

21. While reading you want grab the two love interests like barbies and make them kiss already!

22. While writing you are maniacally laughing because you won't let them be together until the end of the third or tenth book.

23. Replace squirrel with bookstore and this is your life,

24. This is your internal response when people say they've boughten your book but haven't read it yet.

25. This is your reaction when someone asks you what your book is about, 

26. This is your state of being after you've written 10,000 words,

27. This is your reaction when someone says 10,000 words isn't really that many,

28. And you can't help your reaction when someone asks you why it's taking you so long to finish your novel,

Or have your work published,

29. Which is why this thought enters your mind daily,

30. Except you've already given bits of your soul away
