What is a writer? Am I a writer?
I would label someone as a writer if they enjoy writing and do it in their free time. However, if someone labeled themselves as a writer, I would not ask them if they met this criteria. In most cases, I think if someone labels themselves as something, we have to accept it. We can disagree behind their back, but who are we to say what labels another person fits? While I do enjoy writing poems in my free time, I do not think I would label myself a writer.

I slightly disagree. I think somebody can be totally wrong about themselves. Almost out of touch with reality. You know all those people on the show "American Idol" that think they can sing but they're really making our ears bleed? Yeah, that's who I'm talking about.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Lindsey's statement, and Kerin, I consider you a writer. You just wrote something that is very well written, so in my eyes, you can write. :)
