"You know you’re a writer if your work clothes are mostly sweat pants and pajamas."-Kathryn Smith
"You know you are a writer if everyone has told you that you’ll never get published and you keep writing."-Julian Padowicz
"You know you’re a writer if you can’t remember some of the plot details of the book you just released because you’re so engrossed in writing the next one."-Chris Knopf

"You know you’re a writer when every moment of every day you turn whatever you are facing at the moment into a short spurt of prose or poetry in your head, including your dreams, and it has become so commonplace that you have stopped writing things down and bemoan the loss of them later as the story or poem idea that would have wowed your readership, as if you had a readership because you are, after all, a writer."-Faith Vicinanza
"You know you are a writer if every overheard remark becomes a beginning of a story, if what you glimpse from the corner of your eye triggers a vignette, if you awake in the morning wondering what the characters in your novel are going to do today, if something you read evokes a memory you can use in your writing, if all of life is about making connections that help you understand who you are, well then, indeed you are a writer!"-Claire Vreeland
