You know you’re a writer when it’s time to find a way to organize your rejection letters.
On a happier note, you know you’re a writer when the ideas start popping and you’ve got to jot them down before they slip away.
You know you’re a writer when you start an new short story on the back of your shopping list in aisle five of the Safeway.

You know you’re a writer because of a passion that comes from within – you cannot teach it, recreate it, or fake it. You know you’re a writer because you cannot NOT write it down; it’s your sanity on paper.
You know you’re a writer when you get an idea while driving and you pull over to write it down. Then you look in the rear view mirror and there’s a police car in back of you and the officer says, “Are you okay mam?” Then you explain why you stopped and the idea is slipping away.
