It's most likely true that most writers like journals of every size, shape, and color, just as today's poster says. One of my granddaughters is the writer of her generation in our family. I always include a journal of some kind in her Christmas gifts. Her second grade teacher had the entire class keeping a journal. Smart teacher.
What other things show that you are a writer?
You know you are a writer when an idea hits, and you can hardly wait to get home to start writing.
You know you are a writer when you get butterflies in your tummy as you submit your work for publication.
You know you are a writer when you edit, edit again, and then one more time so you have the best piece of writing you can produce.
You know you are a writer when you haunt the calls for submission pages on facebook and other online spots.
You know you are a writer when you say no to a social invitation because you have to finish a writing project.
You know you are a writer when you carve extra time from the day to devote to writing.
You know you are a writer when you hold your first published book in your hand.
You know you are a writer when someone asks: "What are you working on now?"
You know you are a writer when you attend a writing convention or conference and are surrounded by people who do what you do.
You know you are a writer when a rejection arrives, and you feel disappointed but are looking for a lesson to be learned.
You know you are a writer when you can revise a problem area to create a better piece of writing.
You know you are a writer when you have the need to keep reading about your craft.
You know you are a writer when writing feels satisfying.
About those journals: I hope you keep one and seek out new ones when you shop. They're so handy for writing about our feelings and our writing life, also for jotting down story ideas. The nice thing is that they come in all sizes, colors, and even shapes just as the poster photo says.
