I have learned from this class a writer can be many different things but consist of the same basis. To me a writer is someone who expresses their feelings, opinions, and facts they have concluded in a piece of writing. According to the dictionary a writer is someone “who has written a particular text”. Although, this is true I feel that writers are more to it than just people who have written a piece of text. I was reading an article from The Writer and the author describes a writer as someone with a “sensibility, a certain awareness and responsiveness to the world.” I feel like this statement has more truth to what a writer is. I would describe myself as a writer but a different type of writer. I am not a professional who writes everyday. I am the type of writer who writes about events happening around us and how it affects us as society. My writing is most of the time based on other people’s writing that I am reviewing or responding to. Yet, I still consider myself a writer.
