Life & Being A Writer

People always ask me, "What is it like to be a writer?"
Aweh, who am I kidding. No one ever asks that.

Mostly because people don't know I'm a writer. I've only told a couple of select people, because, well, mostly because I don't want people scavenging the internet and finding everything I've ever written. That would be a tad bit embarrassing, wouldn't you say?
[Haha, of course you wouldn't say. You guys never SAY anything.]

But anyways, the point of this post wasn't to rant on about how no one knows me [although no one really does, people assume I'm transparent but I'm really opaque.] No, the point of this was to write about what it's like to be a writer.

And really, it's no different from not being a writer, I'd assume. I don't really know, I've been a writer for as long as I can remember, but  can't really think of anything that would be different.

I saw this online, and I'm going to copy & paste it here:

You know you're a writer when...

-All of your friends are out at parties and you are in your room, writing alone. (I can't say this one applies to me. I'm pretty outgoing, so I'd definitely be at the party.)
-You've honed the skill of procrastination. (Definitely. I should be studying for my exams right now. Instead, I'm blogging.)
-CTR+Z is your best friend. (Yes, yes and yes. Also the backspace.)
-Writer's block is the most tragic thing to ever occur in your life. (100% agree.)
-You always make sure to use proper grammar, even in text messages. (Another one that is definitely accurate. I go as far as preaching to the people of the internet about their incorrect us of the word "then"
-You narrate in your head as you go about doing your every day things. (Doesn't completely apply, but I do like to observe real life people & their mannerisms. People definitely find that creepy, but I think it's a way of life for me.)
