I think to be defined as a writer, you must read a lot, analyze, and enjoy writing. I think defined writers must have certain characteristics. A writer should be well-spoken and read, critical, imaginative, creative, disciplined. I wouldn’t necessarily define myself as a writer but if I were to do so, I would say I am very well-spoken, articulate, and thoughtful. I think I have a good ability to analyze things and emotions/feelings. My mother has always said I’m articulate and express myself and my feelings very well. I’m thoughtful and always think of others and consider things before I do them or how they may affect another person. As a writer, I’m very personal and relatable. I enjoy writing non-fiction and real things/events. I like to be personable. Google’s definition of a writer is, “a person who writes books, stories, or articles as a job or regular occupation”. And Wikipedia defines a writer as “a person who uses written words in different styles and techniques to communicate ideas”. I don’t believe we as a society are able to define and judge one person as a writer and another not a writer. I believe everyone is a writer in their own way. Some publish and some don’t.
