You Know You're a Writer When

As you know, I am writing major. As I immerse myself in the program, I have come to realize that I have developed certain traits and have had certain experiences that quite clearly label me a writer.

You know you're a writer when...

1. You proofread a paper that has already proofread by four other people and find five mistakes.
2. You get into passionate discussions with other writers over weather a certain grammatical error is truly a mistake or just a stylistic choice. 
3. You have strong feelings about certain grammar uses.
4. MLA vs. APA: the bane of the writing world.
5. British vs. American: who knew that two countries who use the same language could have so many variations!?
6. Using an exclamation mark can give you stress. 
7. You are a beast when it comes to Scattergories.
8. You are continually faced with the question, "Am I writing enough?"
9. Journaling is the best way to vent your feelings.
10. You continually have to tell people that you are a Writing major, not an English major. (Yes, some people have the audacity to tell you they are the same thing.)
11. You use different writing styles to tell which multiple-choice answer your professor just copied and pasted to the test. This can be a very helpful hint as to which one is correct.

I know a lot of these are probably just me ranting, but, hey. The more you know!
