Writers are one of the most unique mammals in the human zoo. Each one is different, but there
are a few common traits I’ve noticed.
Writers are:
Quirky
This is an unavoidable part of the creative genetic make-up
of an author. It shows in their language and their actions.
Insecure
All those rejections sometimes make for wicked nervous tics. Try not to stare.
Scatter-brained
When a new plot twist ripens, the rest of life is forgotten...meaning schedules get forgotten or mid-sentence they just might dash off to scribble down a fantastic new idea.
People Watchers
Writers are always scoping out a room full of people for new
characters. Nothing to worry about, unless they're staring at you.
Motivated
In general, writers are some of the best self-starters in
the world. They have to be, or their stories would never get finished.

Oh, good. I was worried about being scatter-brained, lol. I've picked up the habit of rushing off to do something, stopping to attend to some random task, and then completely forgetting what I set out to do. Now I know it simply comes with the territory ;-)
It's good to be quirky!
Hmmm....so if I am in a room full of writers, I guess I should be a bit nervous if any of them are observing me? I would be curious how they would write me into a story.......It would be totally worth the risk, just to hobnob with my favorite authors. :)
Ane ~ Go answer the voices and then come back and leave a comment. I'll wait for you.
Brandi ~ You should know that some people blame that condition as a symptom of aging. They are wrong. Don't listen.
Chaplain Debbie ~ Nervous or flattered, the emotional choice is yours to make, sweetie.
