Having a writing lifestyle means

• Waking up with a plot idea based on one of your dreams.
• Rambling about people who don’t exist to anybody who will listen.
• Sneaking some words into your stories when you’re supposed to be doing other work.
• Staring dumbly at the blank word processor.
• Finding time to write where others only find time to sleep.
• Cringing at the OBVIOUS ERRORS in bestselling novels.
• Thinking up epic plots during your commutes to work or school.
• Cringing at the OBVIOUS ERRORS in the stuff you just wrote five minutes ago.
• Repeating a brilliant idea to yourself until you get the chance to write it down.
• Getting massive FEELS from your own work.
• Having a strange mix of love and hate for your characters.
