You know you're a writer when...

Last week we challenged everyone to respond to the tweet, 'Finish the sentence: "You know you're a writer when…"' and there's been some really great replies! Here they are, in no particular order:

@rosehiptea:
... you're out of paper at work so you write your story very small on the back of the schedule.

paintedpoetry:
... the ink surrounding your writer's bump becomes an affectionate wart.

@cassildra:
... writing is easier than breathing, but editing still sucks!

@rationalsquid:
... you refer to your recent discovery that your nasty aunt teaches underprivileged teens as "character development".

@kneelingglory:
... ink under your nails is part of your daily make-up regimen.

SilverInkblot:
... your journal entries stop being so whiny.

@KBrowniie:
... you cut your shower short, just so you can write down a thought on a napkin.

Jonathan-Frost:
... the words flow better from your pen rather than from your mouth, you know you're a writer when you can't fathom taking advice about how you think, you know you're a writer when you can create a story from any word but most importantly, you know you're a writer when you start realizing that you're life is probably the best story you haven't yet written.

... you start to narrate mundane activities in your head like a film noir scene.

And the winning response(!):

@ALawnMower7:
... you come to the realization that the pen, not the eye, is the true gateway to the soul.

Yeah, we were generally expecting amusing responses, but then we saw that and were just all over the place, you know?

Thanks for participating everyone! See you next time.
