36. When your antagonist is easier to write than almost anyone else so, naturally,  you think about chucking the whole story away and restarting from his point of view.

bringing this back from the dead

37. when you have two chapters with the same name and you have trouble figuring out which one is the real one (fyi they're totally different chapters)

38. when you get lost in your own outline

39. when you chuck out the outline out the window and go anarchist on your story

40. when you have a plot idea but have nowhere to write it on so you end up reenacting your childhood and scribbling down some notes on the back of your hand

42. When you recite a character's potential lines of dialogue while in the shower, driving, etc., just to make sure it sounds like something they'd say. 

43. When you do #42 while driving and get weird looks at red lights.

44. When you're at a meeting or other gathering and you can't stop thinking about that scene you've been dying to get home and write, and people get made at you for not paying attention. 

45. When you know exactly what you want to write - sometimes even to the point of knowing the wording of specific sentences - but instead of having your word document in front of you, you somehow keep ending up on HPFT to swap reviews and complain about the writing you're not doing.

46. You have a great plot idea and you're busily writing it, making progress, and then you come upon a forum topic where people are listing all the over-used cliché plots they can think of, and laughing out loud at them, and you are aghast to see that your plot is on the list, and you think, "Oh my gosh, what am I going to do?"

47. when you feel guilty about not working on your WIP but instead you're writing sequels and sequels of sequels of oneshots :I

48. when your eye twitches every time you accidentally click on 'reviews received' and you see the number of reviews you're supposed to respond to in this lifetime :I

49. when the pets in your story become more popular than the humans 😂

50. when you get lost for hours in the abyss that is popularly known as pinterest (and you were only looking for one picture)

50. using two different google accs for fics for no apparent reason (??) and being unable to remember which one you used to write a thing *sigh*

51. writing entirely self-indulgent fics (*cough*dominique weasley*cough*) because you want to read them

54. Giving one of your main OC's the most ridiculous name going and trying to spell it properly for x amount of chapters

55. When you have 22 works in progress in various states of completion and every time you start working on one, another one starts calling to you.

56. When you cringe reading some of your old writing and have to fight the urge to delete everything you've ever written.

57. When you try to explain a plot idea to a non-writer friend and they stare at you like you're growing horns.

58. Having a long, two page long outline of the entire plot, except none of the OC characters have names yet, so they're all called A, B etc.

58. a) The first two bulletpoints of your outline take eight chapters to cover. The next three bulletpoints take place in one chapter.

59. Having a great idea for a story come to you in a creepy dream which plays through one scene in detail.  That scene doesn't make the final cut anyway.
