Is It Normal?
What do you think?
My Habit
My habit is writing. I write when I'm mad, when I'm sad, when I'm feeling all lovey-dovey. Anytime works for me. It also helps keep my over active imagination focused on certain things.

The only problem I have it is seems that my habit is sort of taking over my life. I think about a story that I'm writing almost constantly, or I'm always thinking up new ones. It's kind of annoying when I'm trying to focus on school, and I just end up thinking about some character's life.

I don't question it as normal or not. Writing helps keep my emotions in check, and it keeps me being creative. I can also share my stories, if I want to. Although, I haven't told my family that I write. Only a few people know that I write, and only two out of them all are reading a story of mine.

I don't exactly plan on becoming an author later on in my future either. I just write for fun, and to be imaginative.

I guess I am just wondering what other people's thoughts are on this. Whether someone else does the same thing, or just what they think.

I write sometimes too, but probably not as often as you do. I do make up stories in my head sometimes and I also think about them quite a bit during the day, especially if things are really stressful. I think it's a way to distance myself from reality when things aren't going the way I want them to go. I think writing is a good outlet. It's a healthy way to deal with things. I admire people who have that creative flare so I wouldn't worry about it. It's a gift. :)

Writing is a good thing! If you really enjoy writing, you might want to consider a career in literature.
