Nine Misconceptions about Writers

Hello, dear readers!  After a wonderful week of flunking quizzes and freehanding the letters on my science project board, I'm here (finally!) with an update.
I stole this from Lifehack.com, and you can read the full article here.  But I looked up ten common misconceptions about writers, and I'm here to answer nine of them to see if they apply to my own life.
#1: Writers have no social life.
Okay, okay, the only time I typically leave the house is to go to church.  But I'm blaming the fact that I'm a homeschooled introvert.  When I grow up, I plan on having friends like any normal person.  We're not a separate species.
#2: Writers exaggerate constantly.
Oh, please.  Where do people come up with stuff like this?  I tend to be a rather rational person.  When I do exaggerate, I'm probably making a joke.  "If Mom doesn't go shopping soon, we'll be living off granola bars and applesauce" is one I made the other day.  Mom went shopping today.  Yay for everyone!
#3: Writers are fast readers.
I've always been a fast reader, and it has nothing to do with my writing.  It helps with college work, but when I'm reading my own work to proof it, I tend to take my time.  It saves me from embarrassing mistakes--most of the time.  And when it doesn't, I've already shipped it off to a teacher at the University of Iowa.
#4: Writers can make up a story in no time.
​It takes time to fully develop a full and concrete plot.  An idea comes in an instant, but I always let it sit for a while before it develops into a plot.  Where the Clouds Catch Fire came about rather quickly; I had the basics of the plot down within a few hours.  But it was still several months before I actually sat down to write it.
#5: I skipped it because I'm still a tax deduction.
#6: Writers want to become teachers.
Homeschool mom?  Yes.  Teacher?  No.  If I wanted to be a teacher, I would be majoring in education.
#7: Writers think writing is "you know, pretty okay."
The only time writing is "pretty okay" is when I'm stuck on a scene.  It's easy to get discouraged, too; but for the most part, I love what I do.
#8: Writing is a relaxing job.
The only relaxing thing about writing is the fact that I sit down to write.  The excitement of battle scenes, the soft touch of romantic interludes, and the angst of research done after-the-fact all add up to one hectic job.  And I'm not even writing full-time yet.
#9: Writers can finish their projects whenever they want.
I can, yes.  But someday, I'm going to have a very large fanbase who wants the next book to be released ASAP, not to mention publishers who work on schedules.
#10: Writers are boring nerds.
Nerd, yes.  Boring, not so much.  While I'm not always the best at conversations, I'm one of the craziest people I know.  I wouldn't have it any other way.
What do you think is the most common stereotype about authors--or any occupation?  Do you exhibit the traits of a misconceived author?  Tell me in the comments below, and God bless!
