Every relationship has its quirks. Whether your guy hates posting pictures of you on his social media, or you hate when he makes you go to the gym, there will always be ups and downs. People keep these secret annoyances to themselves, but that's not the case for everyone. Writers, in particular, write about everything. What they ate, their workout, friends, family, and their significant other. As writers, we are passionate about our craft; you may have to deal with some interesting aspects of our writing tendencies.
Here are 17 truths you must know before dating a writer:
1. Personal stories will be used.![]()
Sorry, but your stories will be used to help us write some great stories. Yes, we will be taking notes while you're talking, and no, it may not have happened to us, but if you see a story that sounds familiar to you, it's probably yours.
2. Secrets aren't really a thing.![]()
Technically, no one knows the secrets you have told us, so we can use them. No one will know it's you, so don't get too mad at us! Your embarrassing stories will be documented.
3. Your embarrassing moments are our perfect stories.![]()
Remember that one time you puked on that random girl at a party? Ya, well I kind of wrote a story about it. Thanks!
4.You will get involved in projects.![]()

5. Your ex's stories will be used as well.![]()
Sometimes we go as far as using stories about your Ex to help us through writer's block. It may be a bit more harsh than the way it actually went down, but I mean do you really care?

You will have to read our stories/articles not once, not twice, but multiple times. This can be for multiple reasons ranging from simple proof reading to pride for a published article.
