…this ol’ Jurassic has opined on here often enuff before now that I believe that if yeez scribble just one WURD of writing or blogging, then yeez are already a Writer or a Blogger… however, should there ever be a need to determine further that exalted condition, consider this… yeez might be an Author or a Writer if :
1. …yeez have frequent committee meetings in yer head amongst yer imaginary characters,
2. …yeez realise these imaginary personages seldom listen to, or follow, what yeez want them to do in yer masterpieces,
3. …yeez initially followed other quill-scrapers’ advice to ‘get involved in the SOSYAL NETWURKS’, and now these’ve taken over vast slugs of yer waking hours,
4. …yeez can often be seen stopping dead in yer tracks in places such as supermarkets, and muttering aloud, ‘ah, yes!’, then pulling scraps of paper from yer pockets with a sticky ballpoint pen and writing down the latest brilliant plot twist on yer current WURK,
5. …yeez have reached the point of considering whether it’s a good thing or not to go visit yer local psychiatrist for counselling to combat yer recently-acquired addiction to checking the Great God Amazon Author Sales pages a coupla dozen times an hour,
6. … yeez tell people that negative reviews no longer affect yeez terribly, when (not so very) deep inside, yeez want to inflict horrible things on voodoo doll simulations of the (obviously) misguided cretins who penned the reviews in the first place,
7. …yeez are always surprised when yeez look up from yer writing around 10.00 pm bedtime, and find the clock says it’s already 3.00 am and ask yerself, ‘how did that happen? (again!)’,
8. …yeez discover that yeez have more in common through virtual relationships with hundreds and thousands of people around the WURLD than with most of yer ‘face-to-face’ relationships,
9. …yeez swear at yer computer or laptop at least twenty times a week when it takes a life of its own, and denies yeez speedy access to the Internet, and finally,
10. …yeez might be an Author or a Blogger if yeez are like me…LUVVIN THIS STUFF!…
…see yeez later… LUV YEEZ!…

What I hate worse Seumas is when I’ve written some (what I would consider) brilliant comment, the computer has failed to save it, and about 2/3 of it disappears while I’m still typing. I’m also guilty of mentally hurling my laptop across the room when it seems to be losing its electronic mind. Happy Holidays! 🙂
