How do they know these things?

I got this silly little book from one of the gals at work a few weeks ago:

You Know You're a Writer When...
by Adair Lara


It's full of one-liners, and an appalling number of them are true. My favorites so far:

"Writing is the only thing that makes you happy, and you hate writing."

"You secretly love your own handwriting."

"You read the dedications and acknowledgements in every new book to see if there's anyone you know."

"You think people who eat alphabet soup are barbarians."

"A new ream of paper can bring on an anxiety attack."

Thanks, Judie!
