You know you are an addicted writer when...

Is anyone else out there like me? Addicted to writing. For me, it doesn't really matter if it's a keyboard or a pen and paper. I write and write and write... If you are not sure if you are an addicted writer then see how many of these resonate with you... You know you are an addicted writer when - You have a stash of notebooks, some used and some not - It bothers you that you might run out of blank notebooks - You always find yourself hovering near the stationary section of a shop eyeing up those books and pens - You are constantly writing lists. About anything. You will even add to a list just to cross it off again - You find yourself waking in the night with the urge to get something down - You love the sight and feel of a new pen, but they need to just 'be right' - You also love the feel of starting a brand new book. Like a whole blank canvas - You journal - about everything and anything - You have a book for this, and a book for that, plus a miscellaneous book. That's of course not forgetting all the blank ones - You get excited when you find places you can write like on here or article sites - Social media is your friend. Because you can write away and you don't even care if no one reads it - When you find that you are constantly on your phone. Writing. Texts, updating the statuses, writing notes to yourself. - You find yourself drifting off a lot and just staring at walls - As you go through your day, ideas of something to write keep cropping up - Of course, then you have to get out a notebook and jot it down - When writing by hand you are not happy when you make a mistake early on, on a page. You start out so neatly, and by the end, it's scribbled as the words flow faster than you can write - You need to learn to speed type, or you just can't keep up with yourself - You love to read, in fact almost as much as you love to write. Every book sparks more ideas. And yes out comes that notebook - If you need to contact someone, you would much rather message or email than phone or meet and talk - You find yourself getting snappy or annoyed when people interrupt you mid-sentence and you lose your flow - You are the one that spots the spelling mistakes in shops, cafes etc. And you constantly have the urge to point it out. In fact, I normally do as they bug me. - You love book shops and libraries. The books, the smell, the atmosphere. You just love them. Even if you don't buy or borrow, you can happily while away the time in them - When you just sit and write out a post like this when I should be doing my dinner... Just because. Anyone else like me?
