Writers:
* live in their own worlds
* talk to imaginary people
* listen to the voices in their head
* forget to eat and drink on occasion while working
* forget to shower far too frequently while working
* have to exist in a reality apart from the "Real World" of their family and friends
* frequently talk to their computer/WIP as though both are sentient and capable of answering
* have imaginary friends called "muses" that can direct their productivity
* fantasize about people doing things that society deems reprehensible - then they share those fantasies with others
* actually volunteer to get shot down by submitting queries
* ask "what if" and "but why" faster and more often than a four-year old
* have a mysterious "zone" which they inhabit during times of intense concentration that renders them deaf, dumb, and blind to anything not directly in front of them on a back-lit screen (no one else is allowed in this zone at any time)
* find the sound of clacking keys to be a type of therapy
* inhale far too much toner for their own good
* randomly and often change their mood to match their WIP, baffling very concerned family members (who really hope that green stuff on their robe is guacamole and not mold.)
