Me? A Writer?
What is a writer? Are you a writer? Interesting questions, it will make for an interesting answers! Anyone and everyone is a writer, whether it is a blog, a novel, a Facebook status or a shopping list. The content is not what makes a writer, there are those of course those who write novels for a living in a professional forum and those who just jot down some words that are linked together mean something to themselves or perhaps just to make a point. Am I a writer, well I am. Am I a good writer? I don't feel that I am, but I seem to do ok in my writing classes but then again how do you grade someone's thoughts? It is like grading a piece of artwork, I may love it and someone may hate, but is it not still art? I don't know if I write as much I conversate on paper. I am not someone who can sit and make up a story, I am better at writing my feelings or opinions or comments! My Facebook status's are probably my best work and has the biggest audience!! LOL

I laughed when I saw the comment that you wrote about the facebook status'. You don't need to be a good writer to BE a writer.. and if you continue on being a ~writer~!, you will eventually become better :D I think you're a great writer!
ReplyDeleteAriel, Thanks for your comment, so true, I applied my theory that it doesn't matter what you write or how good you are at it for everyone else, except me I guess? LOL I am very hard on myself and I didn't realize I did that...LOL
ReplyDeleteI write; therefore I am a writer. Not qualified. not identified. not specified.
ReplyDeleteDoes technology influence writers these days?
Well technology is influencing me for sure, I enjoy keyboarding to writing anytime and that makes is easier for me to be able to get the thoughts out and then edit later. I find that is faster then the pen, and cut-n-paste is easier then actually using scissors and tape.
ReplyDeleteNancy, I really liked what you wrote about the piece of art. The quality of what we write will not determine if we are a writer. the mere fact that we are writing is enough to consider us writers.
