.... you're fat, unemployed, unattached and your cocaine addiction is so strong that you hallucinate typing while on the toilet.

When you realize real life has no plot but is one of those irritating dramas that you just have to watch until it's over because only the development of the characters gives it any direction.

When you walk into a room and that voice inside your head says....

INT. ROOM

He walks into the room.

And then you start visualising real-life conversations in screenplay format.

You know you're a writer when fixing the dialogue on your story is first priority over studying for an accounting and statistics exam that you have the following day.

Is that realizing when you're a writer or realizing you're getting older?

...You stole your bosses roledex, just for the names.

...You start reciting the lines while watching movies you've never seen.

..."(O.S) (CONT'D)" means something to you.

...Your desktop has "My COmputer," 2 Icons for internet browsers, and 65 word documents, final draft files, and PDFs.

and finally,

You know you are a writer, when you go to bed hungry because you were writing all day and forgot to eat.

You know you're a writer when, when you're watching a movie you immediately turn the picture on screen into words on a piece of paper in your head.

Also, you know you're a writer when you write "Lady In The Water".

When you drive 330mi from Florida to Atlanta without the radio on and without stopping once because you are thinking about the plot for your next horror script. Then when you get there, you seriously consider making at least one loop around Atlanta because you want to think about that plot some more.

PS. I'm wondering if being a writer could be considered suffering from some sort of mental disease.

....when you embarass yourself in the theater by being the only one to clap during the "Written by...." portion of the opening credits.
