Eyyyyyyyyee don’t know about this one. My personal list…Do you consider depression the gateway to creativity? Do you get upset when you read about wildly successful artists? Do you spend more on binge drinking then on food? Do you consider other people’s trash to be”art supplies”? Are your dress up clothes paint splattered? Is your most secret shame money from home? You just might be an artist.
AND you call making pictures ‘work’

Awesome. All of these (except for the one, I guess, that specifically refers to art supplies) totally apply to writers as well.
Writing counts as art. You need pens and paper or a computer with software to write. So it still counts.
Oh, of course writing is an art. I would still say that it does not have quite as much of a dependence on supplies as visual art does, but that being said, I am quite a nerd about nice pens, so you may have a point there 🙂
