I saw a writers’ meme (?) on Facebook the other day.
I reposted it and tagged my husband, apologising, because there have been many times when I am writing something and I burst out mid-sentence, reading what I’ve written out loud. He immediately understood what it meant. I told him I’d wait to be alone in future and his response was, “Nah. You won’t. You’ll just forget about it in the moment, and just go on reading out loud as you normally do.”
I am ashamed to say that he’s probably right.
Writer’s Write does a few of these a week. Most of them are so true, it hurts.
See how many of the following “You know you’re a writer when …” statements fit you. (And if you never considered yourself a writer before but these fit you anyway, maybe it’s time you started writing.)
I don’t get it …
‘Hope Mom doesn’t read this …’
‘For science …’
‘It’s time to write …. not’
-from The Oatmeal
‘I know it’s art, but …’
‘Just one more chapter…’
‘Must. Have. Coffee. …’
-from frabz
‘And what if …’
‘But you have so many already …’
(especially books about writing)
And finally …
‘I love you all, each and every one …’

I am genuinely happy to read this web site posts which consists of tons
of helpful data, thanks for providing these kinds
of statistics.
I do believe all of the ideas you have offered on your post.
They are really convincing and can definitely work. Still, the posts are very
quick for novices. May just you please lengthen them a little
from subsequent time? Thank you for the post.
Am a writer 😀 Just no coffee…
its all true, i’m a writer. I hope I’ll write something soon!
And people who agree with all of the above but haven’t written …. are just writers that haven’t got around to it yet?
Even a square tuitt will do in a pinch.
