	...you read the FoxTrot cartoon on your calendar, in which Jason gets a brain freeze, and the first thing that comes to mind is not laughing at the punchline, but at the fact that you recently wrote a vig in which your OC has a brain freeze from ice cream. ...you see certain names when reading books or whatever, and you immediately think of well-known characters from fics you love. ...something happens to you or someone else and you automatically file it away for later use in a fic. -----signature----- "If you expect a kick in the balls and you get a slap in the face, it's a victory."

	...you use SW cuss words in real life. (Layren--I'm guilty of that one. JadeSolo--FoxTrot is awesome!

	Or, as in my case, Notepad. You start using Star Wars swear words instead of real ones in real life.

	1) You write a scene involving Leia and loss of a character, go to orchestra rehearsal, and bawl your way through the section of you playing Princess Leia's theme in the Star Wars Suite. 2) (This is my beta, not me) You create a Mary Sue so complex that she quotes Popes, Confucious, and DarthIshtar in the same paragraph. 3) (Still her) You actually check out dozens of books on marriage, pregnancy, miscarriage, and parenting, reading about 7000 pages for a story that lasts less than 100. -----signature----- "I feel like a more down-to-earth Pink 5 when I'm writing Leah.

	you watch the current political situation (whatever it is) and think about how Palpatine would twist it to his own ends. And then write the story. you listen to bits of conversation and then try and figure out how to incorporate them into a SW fic. -----signature----- Betrayal - http://boards.theforce.net/s/b1/10935143 updated 11/2/09 jedidas3's Master Merlin - Diplomatic Immunity - http://boards.theforce.net/nswff/b10808/30459852

	You dream about your OCs You dream about your stories You will space out in the middle of a conversation because of an idea for a fic. -----signature----- "There will be pages.

	you write a report for work and include a SW word in it. I really did this by mistake! Luckily they thought it was a typo. you take what is going on at work or in your life and disguise it as a fic. -----signature----- Betrayal - http://boards.theforce.net/s/b1/10935143 updated 11/2/09 jedidas3's Master Merlin - Diplomatic Immunity - http://boards.theforce.net/nswff/b10808/30459852

	LOL, what was the word, diane? Once, I was typing something, and it came out "Sith." Then my boss was typing it, and it came out "Sith." I managed not to laugh aloud. SW swear words - I say "Son of a Hutt!" a lot. ...you start thinking like your characters, imagining how they would react to situations and so on. But maybe that's just the sign of a good writer? -----signature----- "If you expect a kick in the balls and you get a slap in the face, it's a victory."
