I know to be a writer you don’t need to write every day. You don’t need to publish. You don’t even have to share anything you write with another person. And yet I feel hesitant to label myself “a writer.” It sounds so big and important, so much more than an unpublished piece from the heart and a few tweet-length stories or poems. But I’m feeling it out, trying to figure it out… Am I a writer?
Am I a writer?
Can totally relate – I am many things but writer is the suit that feels most comfortable 🙂

I also hesitate to call myself a writer, it seems very grand and special (Also, my grammar needs improvement). Anything can be special though, it simply depends on the person you ask. I was told that as long as you write, and you enjoy the process of writing– then you are a writer. Perhaps I am an amateur writer? Like an amateur photographer or cook ,etc?

I look at it this way: We can call ourselves whatever we want. Whether or not others call us by that title depends on what we do with it.

Writers write. Each one differently. There is no magic method or daily word count to suit all. There is only one maxim: writers write.
