writ·er [rahy-ter]
–noun

1. A disease that strikes normal human beings and changes them into antisocial paper and/or computer addicts. Symptoms include carrying a small notepad at all times, obsession with plots and characters, inability to not write, and inability to keep to normal sleep hours. People with classic writing symptoms may reflect their characters moods, be easily scared after writing their first horror, and actually cry if they forget a cool dream that could have been made into a story.

Cures: None.
