A Writer, Am I??

Well, defining yourself if you're a writer or not could mean in so many different ways. It's like saying if you're musician, an artist, or some other form of a profession.

Unless you had NO idea about what you're doing in the area you're wanting to accomplish, then we ARE whatever we desire to me. Writing is no different than anything else; just takes a different type of skill, that's all. We grow as people, we grow with the talents we have. We'll never be at our best, no matter how much practicing you do...but it doesn't mean you can't strive for something great.

Personally, I would consider myself a writer. Why? Because, going through a phase a year, two years ago, creativity was beginning to form as that sort of thing I love to use as a form of expression. With expression, I can play guitar, I can sing, I can vocal-scream, I can play a few other instruments, but with varied skills.

Writing is no different than any of those. It's a different form of expression. To me, I personally love to create fictional stories. They help your mind take you places, face obstacles of where you want the story to lead off to, and...just the fact you're accomplishing something much better than sitting on your ass all day, doing nothing (pardon my language!).

Writing can be a labored thing, yes. I'm not saying I'm bad at writing things for school (well...not TREMENDOUSLY bad!), but it's not normally my style. My style of writing lays within creativity, going from stories, to poetry.

A writer will have his/her bad days, just like anyone else, but (s)he ends up enjoying the experience at the end of it.
