10 Reasons You Know You're a Workaholic

1. You say you'll do something at least eight times a day--only to sit at your desk and make more pages instead leaving the chore until tomorrow--and then the next day.
2. Once you've settled up a manuscript and sent it off for submission it's on to the next idea, like, that hour. No time for celebration or pride, got to get cracking on that idea list that just keeps growing like a plant that won't die.
3. The post-it's and little scraps of paper tacked to your cork-board and all over your desk start to multiply until you can't keep up with when you wrote what, but at least you're getting six or seven of them done a day. Until you write at least two more every day to add to the pile. Soon kitties will be swimming in them.
4. You forget to eat
5. You say you'll get a cup of tea--or have made that cup of tea--five hours ago.
6. You can't sleep anymore without thinking of your to-do list before bed and the instant you wake up in the morning and when you dream, it's of manuscripts not getting done in time.
7. You can't read anymore because every time you pick up a book you think about how you should be writing pages on your own WIP and get guilt-brain.
8. Not even wine will fix your stress level
9. You almost catch yourself calling your husband your hero's name
10. You make lists like this to both deal with your stress level, admit you have a problem, and fill up a blog post---which is also stressing you out.
