Nocturnal ninjas

Writers are notorious for their nocturnal nature. Ever wondered why some writers seem to pen their masterpieces in the dead of night? They find solace in the quiet and magical hours of the night. The ambiance and quiet solitude ignites their creativity and heightens their concentration. Furthermore, who needs sleep when they have inspiration on their side?

Coffee cognoscente

Coffee is the elixir of a writer’s life. A writer’s relationship with coffee is so profound, many are believed to have their own secret concoctions! Writers have a knack for turning caffeine into words. Legend has it that coffee is a writer’s modern-day muse. Without it, writer’s block looms like a dark shadow.

Irregular routines

Forget conventional work hours, writers thrive on abnormal routines. Some pen their masterpieces while dancing to extremely loud music. Others write while facing some very specific directions. While the less abnormal ones take to rooftops for a dose of fresh air and inspiration. Quirky routines feed their creative souls and set them apart from the boring. But hey, whatever works, right?

Notebook Hoarders

If you step into a writer’s domain, you’re likely to find stacks of books towering majestically. Ideas may strike at any moment, so being prepared is the first rule of the sling ink guide. These bibliophiles never seem to have enough books. Evidently because each book holds the promise of a new adventure or wisdom waiting to be unraveled.

Socially Awkward

Writers often have a habit of conversing with their characters as if they were real people. They argue, laugh, and sometimes even cry with their literary creations. This writing process turns their words akin to a magical séance. Since they often prefer the company of their fictional characters, don’t be surprised if they’re a tad awkward around real people. They are just more at ease in the worlds they create.

Grammar Enthusiasts (or not!)

While you might think writers have a fervent love for grammar, some have a love-hate relationship with the rules of language. They enjoy breaking the rules just as much as they enjoy perfecting them. Also, beware of a writer’s vocabulary. These lexicon lurkers love to sprinkle their prose with verbiage that sends readers scampering for a dictionary. After all, why use simple words when a grandiloquent one will suffice?

Wanderlust and Wonder

Writers constantly seek new experiences to infuse into their prose. Travel is their muse, and each destination becomes a source of inspiration. On the same note, writers are also wanderers at heart. A writer would go to any lengths just to find something worthy of writing about. This weird set of people are lowkey adventurous and big time explorers.

Penchant for ink stains

In the digital age, writers might use keyboards. However, the romance of the ink-stained fingers still lives on. There’s something poetic about seeing the marks of creation etched onto a writer’s hands. Almost like battle scars from a victorious word war. Besides, most writers often have so much going on in their minds. Inking some ideas and important notes down usually serves as an external reminder to them.

Emotional rollercoasters

Writers experience the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. This occurs often within the span of a single writing session. Nonetheless, their emotional journey fuels their creativity and enriches their prose. Aside from that, writers have thick skins when it comes to criticism. Feedback can either propel them to new heights or dagger their hearts to the ground. It’s basically a delicate dance between humility and a desire for validation.

Cats and writers share an inexplicable bond. Many famous writers were known to be avid cat lovers. Writers find solace in the presence of these enigmatic creatures. Felines seem to possess a wisdom and enchanting personalities akin to their own.

Peculiar dress code

Writers often bypass societal norms when it comes to attire. For them, comfort reigns supreme. You’re likely to find a writer clad in whatever fuels their creativity. Be it pajamas, vintage wear, or a robe worthy of Gandalf, being the imaginative souls they are, nothing appears to be impossible for them.

Procrastination Professionals

Deadlines are both a writers nemesis and muse. When faced with a blank page, writers are prone to engaging in elaborate acts of procrastination. For instance, rearranging bookshelves or alphabetizing the spice rack. However, when the pressure mounts, their creativity surges like a tsunami.

Split Personalities

Many writers experience the Jekyll and Hyde phenomenon. In their writing mode, they transform into literary lions. Roaring with passion and power. But outside that realm, they become introverted kittens. Often struggling to express their feelings and thoughts.
