I was a writer before I knew it.

  I say that because I see now that I should of realized my passion a long time ago. I viewed the people in my life as characters. Each with their own flaws. Characters that need to overcome things, and I feel compelled to figure out what type of person they were. I had cast protagonist, antagonist, dynamic characters, etc. I over analyzed peoples decisions, and felt compelled to know their thought processes.
  Often times this would preset a problem. No one wants some crazy person digging into their heads, and trying to "write" what they thing should happen in your life. This leads most to view me as a "Neb nose".  I have also been called a "Drama Queen" for the urge I have to be right smack in the middle of fights people were having. Even if it is just to hear what happened, and what the reactions were. It's unavoidable for me when I feel like this is my story. Which in a sense is true. My life is my story.....until I decide to dissect my "characters." Then of course it's a different situation.
  I have, at times, gotten mad when people don't take my advise. I have a hard time accepting that what I say didn't go. That is because when you write a problem into a story it goes the way you plan it for your character. When you view those closest to you as characters sometimes you find yourself treating them that way.
  I was a writer before I knew it, because even before I began to write I was treating everything like a story. It's a character flaw I am currently working on. :)
