You frequently mutter to yourself. Slam fists on the keys. Wish you smoked cigarettes so you’d have something else to do with your hands.
You know you’re not quite “normal.”
But how crazy are you?
Just use this little quiz to determine whether you are actually paranoid – or simply a writer (which might be worse).

You suspect a car is following you, but then it turns away. You are relieved. Paranoid

These are too funny! Thanks for sharing, I have to pass this along. 🙂
Thanks for passing them along!
This is fantastic! 😀
I particularly like:
“You see danger everywhere. Paranoid
You see grammatical errors everywhere. Writer”
…Aren’t these things one and the same? 😉
So true! I’m with LTBG with grammatical errors …
… must mean I’m a writer.
Afraid so!
Indeed they are. : )
Good one!! M
Thank you!
Good quiz, sadly true. I must be a writer.
Don’t worry. It’s not lethal, as far as we know. ; )
I too could check too many of these boxes…yay!
I know, right?
Hmm… 2 “paranoids” 6 “writers” and two ties.
The ties are: “You see danger everywhere. Paranoid, You see grammatical errors everywhere. Writer”
and, of course: “Other people think you’re crazy. Paranoia, You think you’re crazy. Writer”
Who, in their right mind, DOESN’T think they are crazy?
Bumper stickers:
“I am a schizophrenic writer and so am I.”
“The paranoid writers are out to get me.”
“I am a paranoid schizophrenic writer and I am out to get me.”
” I am a ‘normal’ writer, which means I am probably delusional.”
Omigosh; my favorite one is “I am a paranoid schizophrenic writer and I am out to get me.” Genius!
You da bomb!
This is true. No reason we can’t be BOTH.
Thank you.
Life is terminal, so we might as well write. There are people from every profession who would like to write. Most writers would probably not want to be anything but writers. Besides, if we were something else, we might have to function in the world of reality. Now that is scary!
So scary. ; )
And IMHO, “Life is terminal, so we might as well write.” ought to be on a bumper sticker, too.
Actually, mind if I make it a wallpaper?
Please do. I am glad you found amusing.
Thank ya very much!
Writers are not in their “right” mind. They are in their “write” minds.

to the point. i love it. it makes clear that fine line between being crazy and being crazier. thanks for the information.
“Are you crazy?”
“No, I’m a writer. Not that there’s much difference, really.”
I laughed the whole way through this post because they’re so true. Particularly the bit about being kidnapped by government agents. My search history is…. …. …concerning.
