There are many things writers learn. It's picked up slowly, over many years of writing. Here are some of those:
-Normal people don't appreciate jokes about death/dying/murder/kidnapping.
-Having imaginary friends when you're older than 5 is not socially acceptable.
-Running around screaming, "I figured out the plot hole! I know what happens next! He gets violently murdered and she gets kidnapped by ogres! It all fits into place now!" will result in people looking at you funny.
-Most people don't know what plot bunnies, writer's block, and guilt monkeys are.
-To most, 'Rayon' is a type of fabric. This will change once I'm published.
-People want to know why I never go anywhere. I tell them I am becoming a hermit. This is untrue. I am actually becoming an author.
-I can eat my weight in snacks during November 1st.
EDIT: Yesterday was National Star Wars Day. Do you know why? May the Fourth be with you.
Hahaha I love this. It's so true, and so, so funny. The bullet about having imaginary friends past age five not being socially acceptable...well, screw the world. We have characters. :) Love you, Eliz.
