Do you feel uncomfortable when you have not written anything for days? Do you feel as if something is amiss without the pen or keyboard?

A lot of writers will tell you this. It takes a lot of patience, time and attitude to write. So do you have the right attitude for writing? Here are 15 signs to show that you indeed got that “write” attitude.
- You wake up in the morning and the first thing you want to do before you brush your teeth is to write.
- Before you sleep at night, you are suddenly jottled up from your bed because you just have some new inspirations on topics to write.
- The thought of writing something thrills you.
- You use your pen to “fight”. You sure know the saying well, that “The pen is mightier than the sword”. Good for you. So you are more of a verbal fighter. Just be kind on those insults.
- During exams, you always write “write” instead of “right”.
- You have a whole book of philosophy about writing. And probably a whole shelf too.
- Instead of hollywood celebrities, you paste your walls with posters of famous writers. Why is there your self-portrait though?
- You would rather write a book than to read one.
- You come up with your own proverbs and idioms about writing, and secretly lock them away in your safety deposit box.
- You write when you drive. You are definitely a skillful driver.
- You write more than you speak. Well, the library is definitely a great place for you.
- When your lover asks you for a portrait, you write instead of draw.
- Your favourite song is “More Than Words”.
- You write everyday on Triond. And you cannot stop writing.
- You are reading this article. It is a great step for the “write” attitude!

Haha, these are some tips that every writing addict will face but I’m afraid I don’t qualify for some of them although I do miss writing on Triond. Good article, really enjoyed it!

I enjoyed reading the signs you shared with us. I have jumped up while I was sleeping when an idea hits me.

Oh, I certainly have several of the signs but which ones I’m not going to admit to.
