You Know You Read/Write Too Much When...

[Collote]

You know you read too much when...

You own so many books your friends start calling you their own personal library.

You think about what it would be like to live with the characters from that one book... all of the time...

You know you write too much when...

You start to dream about the characters from the story/book you're writing.

People start to wonder why there is so much ink all over your hands.

I won't add too much. (:

Go ahead and add some of your own!

You dream about books you've read and dream about living in the plots

You know you write too much when

You feel like you're actually in your story with the characters

All you ever think about is your story

While in school you think about what should happen next and doodle it out on your notebooks. xP

You know you read too much when...

You decide to put on a puppet show of one of your favourite books. (Twilight next week for my school's open evening.)

You have fictional boyfriends/girlfriends/spouses from books.

When you watch a film and something happens, you say "oh I read a book like this once..." and a long talk about the book you read and the similarities and differences between it and the film, much to the annoyance of your friends/family/prisoners.

You know you write too much when...

You start to write your story as a book in your head as you live it. (For example: "She wandered down the road, bored out of her mind but looking forward to getting home.")

Your computer runs out of space because of all the stories and poems you've stored on it.

You want to write a book of the book you've just read. (I know it sounds weird but I will read something and think "oh that's a great idea for a story, I should write it dow- oh wait... it's already written...)

You have a specific notebook for writing ideas and stories in and you must carry it everywhere with you.
