Clear signs your’re in a relationship with a writer:<\/p>\n
INT. Bedroom – NIGHT<\/p>\n
While staring at the same sentence for the last hour on a laptop, a cellphone RINGS. Writer Guy answers it, noting that Caller ID DISPLAYS his girlfriend, THE POET’S phone number.<\/p>\n

Writer Guy: Acronym?<\/p>\n
The Poet: That’s it! It was on the tip of my tongue.<\/p>\n
Writer Guy: That’s called aphasia.<\/p>\n
Silence.<\/p>\n
Writer Guy: Are you writing?<\/p>\n
