You know you're a writer when you have no choice about whether or not to quit.
And, I am the only girl I know who HATES shoe shopping. If I could just wear flip-flops or sneakers everywhere I'd be happy. So, yeah--I definitely own more books than shoes. :)
OH MY!! Loved All of your "you know you're a writer when." I can relate to all of them. My favorite is #7 When you see a guy at your local coffee shop who looks exactly like your novel's heart-throb, it totally freaks you out.
I didn't see my novel's heart-throb at a coffee shop, but I did see both of my male leads in a picture together (on Pandora--they play the cello) and I about had a heart attack!! I wanted to call someone--anyone--and have them look up the pic online...but then I realized no one had read my ms yet. Needless to say, it was a very exciting and very disappointing moment for me. haha
Oh, that's me!
ReplyDeleteHow about...
You know you're a writer when you spend more time with fictional characters than living, breathing people.
Isn't that the truth!! haha

I'm right there with you!! I would rather wear flip-flops any day...and I usually do!!
DeleteI own a lot of both! What does that make me?

ReplyDeleteWhen you see a gorgeous dress in a magazine, you picture your MC wearing it for her BIG DATE.
Love the shoes one, that's golden.
