Tag! You Know You're a Writer When...

*  *  *
I have been tagged by Bluebell with the "You Know You're a Writer When..." tag.  
For this tag I must link back to the person who tagged me, state four to six tell-tale signs of being a writer (without knowingly copying anyone else), and proceed to tag as many more bloggers as I see fit.  

Here we go!

*  *  *

You Know You're a Writer When...

1.  You can accurately type... even without a key board.  You'll be sitting at a restaurant waiting for your order to arrive, busily typing away on your imaginary computer.

2.  You go to bed each night with the hope that a) your dreams will provide you with inspiration for new stories, or b) your dreams will inspire you for the stories you're already writing

3.  You look for random people in crowds who look like people from your book

4.  You watch movies and think of the ways that you would transcribe it in a book.  Maybe you even try to think of how you would have written in better.

5.  You can spontaneously spout dramatically improvised passages of meaningless prose, much to the amusement or bewilderment of your friends and family

6.  Your characters are so real to you that people will occasionally catch you... conversing with them.  Whether your whispering in front of your mirror, or acting entire scenes out in your bedroom, it's always a little difficult to explain.  ;)

  4. Good heavens, you gave me a tag and I didn't know! Well, thank you for it anyway. :) Trista tagged me with the same one, which is how I found out about it, so here's my response:

    1. Yes, sorry about that! I meant to notify all those that I tagged, but I forgot about it once Christmas hit! My family and I were very busy. :)

      Any way, thank you for answering! *clicks link*

    2. Don't worry about it. I was berating myself for not coming on here more often and noticing the tag. My family and I were super busy as well. As a matter of fact, we still are, lol.
