    #8: When people give you weird looks after you've just finished explaining a character development system.

    #9: When you doodle on your math paper, and the scribbles turn into a full-fledged language.

    14. When you wander through the forest and nearly fall into a river because you were daydreaming about an epic battle that happens in your book.

    15. When you actually can put together a list longer than 3 items which state your insanity because of writing.

    No. 26: When you stay awake past 3 AM writing... (guilty of doing this too many times to count)

    No. 27: When you suddenly find history to be more interesting since it gives you worldbuilding inspiration.

    No. 28: The first thing you do on a weekend is make a flying leap towards your computer and write away. (Well maybe flying leap is a little exaggerated, but it's the thought that counts, right?)

    29. You keep a notepad and pencil beside your bed so that when you wake up at 4:30 in the morning with a great idea, you can write it down.

    #32 You write anywhere, like while waiting for the bus, and don't care if people are staring at you weirdly.
    #33 When you forget to bring a notebook and pen, and a sudden idea comes to mind, you mumble it over and over again under your breath.
