Are you a writer? Have you always dreamed of being published but don’t know whether you have what it takes. Someone once said that there is a good story inside each one of us. I guess the difference then is the tenacity and discipline. Well I guess you first have to know if you are a writer or have the potential. Here are 10 sure ways to answer that question. Saw this piece and decided to share. By the way, I totally agree

1.You constantly edit. Whether it’s while you’re driving down the street and pass a misspelled sign, or grammatical errors in Facebook posts, you fix errors constantly in your mind—and sometimes not so silently.

•    2.You’re highly observant. And not only do you notice things all the time, but you file them away in your I could write about this later folder.

    3.You often ask, “How could I describe this?” You don’t ignore your life experiences—everything from walking outside during a torrential downpour, to burning yourself while cooking, to taking the first bite of a piping-hot homemade chocolate chip cookie can be used in your writing, and you often pause to think about how you would describe it in words.

  4 . You have a hyperactive imagination. There’s never a dull moment in that head of yours—your imagination is always working on overtime to keep you entertained and give you fresh ideas.

  5. You feel inspired to write after reading a good book. Enough said.

   6.You often daydream about your WIPs. Your characters never completely leave you— they walk alongside you throughout the day and give you new ideas when you least expect it.

    7.You feel guilty if you haven’t written anything in a while. What a “while” is depends, but after a writing hiatus, a part of you begins to demand that you get back to the keyboard and reprimands you if you don’t.

   8.Grammar jokes are funny. Well, they are.

   9.You can’t get enough books. After all, every new book is a couple hours worth of inspiration.

   10.You keep doing this writing thing. It doesn’t matter if you’re not published, if no one else cares if you continue to write, if you don’t make a penny off of the words that you put on the page—none of that matters, because you’ll continue to write anyway.
