You Know You're a Writer When . . .
You know you're a writer when

. . . You'll never forgive your parents for your happy childhood.

. . . The doctor tells you that you have terminal cancer and you think, "I can use this."

. . . You accidentally sign a check with your pen name.

. . . You know more than ten synonyms for "blue."

. . . You write your Christmas letter as if it were War and Peace.

Many readers will recognize themselves in this collection of observations about the eccentric, quirky, word-obsessed
condition that is being a writer.

Adair Lara, author of the charming and popular Normal Is Just a Setting on the Dryer and many other books, has been a reporter and columnist for the San Francisco Chronicle for 16 years.
