1. "Hey, what's that you're writing?" *snatches up spiral*
This gets on my nerves SOOO much. I'm sure it's happened to you too. You're just sitting there, writing your lovely story, when some idiot decides that it's okay to just grab your spiral and start reading it out loud. And, it's especially awkward if you're writing about something, well, awkward... such as kissing scenes... or... um... rape. Yeah. One time, someone snatched my spiral when I wasn't looking and just started reading it. Even worse, when I found out, he was just like "Yeah, that short story was okay. But that chapter book? Yeah... no." (My heart has a scar from that...)
2. "What's your story about?"
Okay, I know that this one really shouldn't annoy me, since all writers are supposed to have a cute little summary in their head all ready for when people do ask this question, but when people ask me that, I end up saying something very eloquent, such as: "Uhhh. Stuff." Also, this question may be kind of awkward as well, if you're writing about depressed people or, um... rape.
3. "Oh, can I read it??!!"
This one is similar to number one, but this one actually puts you on the spot. If you answer yes, then you may have your story read by someone who barely even know, and if you answer no, then they might act all hurt and be like *gasp* "But I thought you were my friend!!!"
4. "Yeah, when I was like five, I published my own story! It was something about a magical unicorn that..."
I. Don't. Care.
Nawww, I'm just kidding with y'all. :D I'm not that mean. This question is okay. It's just that people that say it all proud and stuff, as if they're expecting me to bow down to them because they published some magical unicorn story thing when they were in first grade. (Just realizes that the example wasn't exactly a question. Whoops.)
5. "Yeah, but you're like never going to finish it, right? That's what happens to all kid writers."
That's just messed up, buddy... This is all I gotta say:
