Are all Writers Strange?

I blame the fact that I’m a writer for my stationery addiction.

Pens, pencils notebook, paperclips. There really are no restrictions to what I like, and one of my favourite times of year is when the stores get their Back to School range in. A trip to the supermarket doubles in time.

I have drawers full to bursting with supplies that well probably dry up before I ever get to use them, because even though, I’m constantly replenishing my stock of pens, I have this thing, a quirk if you’d like, where I use one writing utensil at a time.

If I’m working on one writing project, then I have one pen or pencil that I use through the whole piece of work until I finish either the book or the pen/pencil runs out. I also prefer to stick to two notebooks. One large for at home, one small for on the go.

It got me to wondering about quirks. How many writers have superstitions or habits that you follow when you’re writing? Are we all odd, or is it just me? Am I alone out here in my weirdness?
