1. When people tell me what to do 2. When people restrict me from doing something practical and normal, like go on the internet for a while, или go on FanFiction WITHOUT HAVING THE PAGES RESTRICTED. 3. When people insist I have a problem when I don't. (Ex. Going on the computer too much, procrastinating on homework, etc. Everyone does it или goes through it at some point!) 4. When someone lies to my face, или denies doing something I KNOW he/she did. 5. When somebody assumes something about me before they get to know me. (Good или bad.) 6. When a very minor event occurs, and everybody freaks out, even though it's not a big deal. 7. When something HUGE occurs, and nobody acts like its a big deal, when it obviousy is. 8. When someone attempts to check and reschedule my priorities for me. Ex. I have to do my homework BEFORE I go on the computer или write. Why does this bother me? Because Письмо isn't a hobby, IT'S MY LIFE. Письмо doesn't have an on-and-off switch, like sports, where Ты only play during practices или games. Ты write when Ты FEEL like it, when Ты feel Ты have the need to write something down. Ты can't say, "Oh, I'll just write when I'm done with my homework." THAT'S NOT HOW Письмо WORKS. Ты can't FORCE yourself to write. (Or I can't, anyway. I know several people who do, and I can't seem to understand HOW they do it.) Письмо comes naturally, ideas come and go, and there's NO STOPPING Ты and your imagination when ideas come. It's like someone saying, "Okay, Ты have two options: Either Ты can stop me from shooting your pet, или Ты can do your homework. I suggest Ты do your homework." That's just... no. That's how important Письмо is to some people. Письмо a story is like creating a whole world, with characters that Ты can control and play out. It's almost like an alternate universe - That's how strongly a writer feels about writing. IF Ты don't write, Ты feel like you're killing your characters, and the creativity inside you. There is no секунда option. Sometimes Ты can write for hours on end, and sometimes nothing comes to you, and Ты don't write in your story for two months. Because THAT'S HOW Письмо WORKS. There is no time-limit или other priorities when Ты are creating your own world. :) 9. When I have to admit when I'm wrong. (It's a pride thing - don't ask.) 10. When people tell me I'm wrong или correct something I say или do. (Yes, I'm aware that this is VERY hypocritical, because I tend to correct people a lot. But it's just the way I feel.) It's not a big deal, though. I won't freak out if someone corrects me, it just annoys me. *Yes, I am aware that number six and seven contradict each other. But depending on the situation, Ты can be one или the other. Again, this may be hypocritical или bias, but that's just how I feel.*
