I just came up with this for fun. What do you think? If you have anything to add, let me know!
1. You carry a pen and paper wherever you go.
2. You enjoy writing for fun.
3. You often find yourself visualizing the settings of your stories before you drift off to sleep each night.
4. You read. A lot.
5. You love to read right before bed.
6. You’ll jump out of bed in the middle of the night because you had an amazing story idea and need to write it down.
7. People watching leads to ideas for character traits.
8. You’ve dreamed of writing a book since childhood.
9. English was your favorite subject in school.
10. In school, you enjoyed the writing assignments that others complained about.
11. You read during meals.
12. You love long flights and road trips because you can use the time to work on your stories.
13. As long as you’ve got paper and something to write with, you feel ready to take on the world!
Haha! So am I a writer??
Sure, why not? 😉
This is also the same for an artist too you know
Why don’t you start a blog about art? I know you have a passion for it, and you could post pictures of your fashion designs on there and stuff. It would be really cool! 🙂
Love the blog
Hi, Sarrah,
I’ve seen a lot of people tackle this same subject — even do quizzes about it — but you captured it nicely. It made me smile.
I, too, advise people about writing, and I’m glad to see that your No. 1 “condition” is that a writer must always carry pen and paper. I recently recommended that to someone, the same person I was trying to convince to switch from non-fiction to fiction. I even recommended the kind of pen, which I’ll pass along. It’s called a “rocket pen.” It writes on any angle and is about the size of your forefinger, only much thinner. Very easy to carry anywhere — without poking a hole in your pocket or leaving an ink stain.
I don’t agree with everything, but how could I? You’re a writer, perhaps, if you don’t agree with ANYBODY! But the reference about jumping out of bed certainly hit home, as did many of the others.
Nice job.
I really love your site.. Excellent colors & theme. Did you develop this web site yourself?
Please reply back as I’m trying to create my own website and would
like to learn where you got this from or what the theme is
named. Appreciate it!
I could not resist commenting. Very well written!
I’m impressed, I must say. Rarely do I come across a blog that’s both equally educative and entertaining, and without a doubt,
you’ve hit the nail on the head. The issue is something that not enough men and women are
speaking intelligently about. I am very happy that
I found this in my search for something regarding this.
First of all I would like to say terrific blog!
I had a quick question which I’d like to ask if you do not mind.
I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear
your thoughts prior to writing. I’ve had a hard time clearing my mind
in getting my thoughts out there. I truly do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are generally lost simply just
trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or hints?
Thanks!
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve sat and wondered how to begin as well! But I finally realized the best way to begin is… well, to begin. I know that doesn’t sound very helpful, but there’s just no getting around it. The longer you sit and THINK about writing, the less time you’ll actually spend writing. And beginnings are the most subject to change anyway. Whether it be a short story, an essay, or a novel, you’re able to change the beginning at any time, and you probably will. So don’t worry about it – just put your pen to paper and start writing!
I love your blog.. very nice colors & theme.
Did you create this website yourself or did you hire someone to do
it for you? Plz reply as I’m looking to create my own blog and would
like to find out where u got this from. thanks
