People ask me what it's like to be a writer. Here are 20 answers to that question:
1. YOU MIGHT BE A WRITER IF...people ask you, "when are you going to get a real job?"
2. YOU MIGHT BE A WRITER IF...the word "royalty" does not bring to mind either a king or queen
3. YOU MIGHT BE A WRITER IF..."sub" refers to neither a big underwater boat nor a sandwich.

LMAO honestly this made my evening and I had the worse headache ever....but I think that 3,5,9,12,13,15,and if I had a dog 17 would be for me,lol. I love it!
hahahaha...I love it
Those are cute. Here's my contribution:
You might be a writer if a quiet room away from everything is nirvana.
You might be a writer if you have callouses on the tips of your fingers.
You might be a writer if you have more computers than you do TV's.
You might be a writer if getting a new desk makes you light up like a kid at Christmas.
lol, not as clever, but my two cents worth.
Glad to know I'm not the only one nauseated by the word "edits"...:)
Cheers,
Alan.
Loved your list! You just made my evening. All I can think of to add right now is:
You might be a writer if ... you and your friends can spend half an hour discussing a grammar question (and nobody gets bored).
You might be a writer if... Christmas or New Years morning sees you running to your computer to see if the latest edits have arrived :)
Have a good one, Jean!
ROFLMAO
Those are so true
OMG! Those are so me!...Thx for sharing...Hugs...Tabs
Great list Jean...
and for me
You might be a writer if... the only exercise you get is walking back and forth to the coffee pot ten times a day

I love this list and may I say that dog is beautiful.
I do the whole sub, pub and stuff and get funny looks from the family.

You might be a writer if:
You cart your laptop to the day job, hoping to sneak in a few sentences on a WIP....
LOL
Great post!
This is a comprehensive list!
You might be a writer if you can't stand a day without writing anything! :)
I agree with all of them but especially number 12.
You might be a writer if other people's problems end up in your plots.
I loved it! Made me laugh and nod in agreement a lot! Lol!
Number 9 is so me, & I'm a reader.
Great post Jean!
You might be a writer if you switch the bedside lamp on at 3 a.m to write down a plot bunny because you don't want to forget it.
Awesome! You said it all. What a great way to start my day, laughing.
I love it, and I definitely can relate to many of them. I think if my cats could talk, they'd be able to tell you the whole plot to my next book.
This is the best I can do, but its not nearly as good as yours.
You know you're a write if....you trip and fall because you were so wrapped up in plotting your next book in your head that you forgot you were walking up the stairs. (sadly this has happened to me before :D)
