You might be an insane author if...

[Skeeter Muppet]

...you credit any and all story ideas to a figment of your imagination dubbed a "muse".
...if you have more than one muse.
...if you have more than one muse per fandom (only applies if you write fanfic).
...if some or all of these muses take on physical characteristics of your favorite characters from these fandoms.
...if you start getting really weird plot ideas (also known as "crack!fic").
...if you blame the crack!fic ideas on your muses.
...if you're a member of a group of online fic writers where insanity is not only the norm, it's encouraged.

Sadly, I am guilty of all of the above.

23.You know some of these authors personally.

24.You have in dept conversations with these authors about how to write
a good plot line.

I can say yes to these now...I know a published author...I'm ordering his book today...And hopeful someday I'll meet him in person so he can sigh it

...if when someone asks you to write something meaning for in their year book, you compose a full length poem for them (I did this to my seniors last year)
...if you give poems away as presents because you can't afford to buy anything or you think its easier then trying to find something they might like (guilty on both counts)
...if you favorite characters become full-fledged alter-egos
...if when you find out that you actually have to daydream to be healthy all you do is say, "I told you so..."
...if you write songs but can't play any instruments
