Just like everything in this crazy life, writers have undeniable labels. While some are utterly hilarious (like sleeping with one eye open in case genius strikes), we are a rather unique bunch full of creative, revolutionary ideas. Yes, while we do tend to ward off the negative connotations that come with being a writer, we can relate to these 12 hilarious, indisputable stereotypes.
1. We Daydream.
It's true that most writers spend countless hours daydreaming about potential situations or fantasies, and often times these daydreams become future story lines and characters. Whether it be while driving a car or slipping silently into a deep sleep, daydreaming is an automatic trait of a writer.
2. We Drink coffee. Constantly.
While most people lightly joke about writers and their caffeine addiction, it's a serious problem.
3. Get oversensitive about the most minuscule things.
We can't help it when we cry if you ate the last piece of cake or when our hearts break for those innocent animals in the shelter. Everything to a writer is a tender topic and although it's a pain in the ass most of the time to feel touchy over the smallest of circumstances, our emotions can help levitate some pretty amazing work in the grand scheme of things.
4. We write better than holding an actual conversation.
Have you ever had a conversation with a writer and instead of getting fluent intellect, you got short, closed off sentences? That's because writing is our first, instinctive language, and speaking comes second. We want our emotions and words to have a deeper, longer lasting impression than just the sound they make.
5. We read anything we can get our hands on.
We read. All time and anywhere. And don't be surprised if the main decor of our room is books.
6. What is sleep?
It seems that while everyone in the city is asleep, we're awake. After all, 2:00 a.m. is when the inspiration strikes at it's finest.
7. We search for answers.
Life has it's way of throwing crazy curve balls at us and we tend to spend countless hours searching for the answers.
8. Which leads me to my next point - we overthink. Everything.
Every angle and point of view we have analyzed tirelessly. Don't even try mentioning a new approach because we've considered approximately 47 times and we'll probably come back to it another 23. If there's a dead horse somewhere, it's probably because we beat it to death.
9. We spend time in solitude.
Sorry, but sometimes our greatest thoughts come to us when we are alone rather than in a group.
10. Drink to Excess.
While it's true most(all) writers, drink, they don't beat their wives.
11. Live unorganized.
Creativity might come easy to us, but organization does not. We hoard and we keep rooms messy like our minds.
12. We write down every good sentence or idea that comes to mind.
Our journals are stuffed full of snippets of scenes or characters we have created on a whim. Anything that makes for good writing material you can we've already thought of and have already jot down.
