What is a writer? Am I a writer?

A writer is a person who thoughtfully and masterfully creates sentences and paragraphs that epitomize the creativity flowing through that person's veins. It is someone who could write about anything, anywhere, anytime and not have a difficult time doing it. It's someone who is natural at the art of writing. Personally, I could see myself as a writer, but not someone who does it extremely often. I believe that I write well, but my goal in life is to become a Sports Broadcaster, not a Sportswriter. I can definitely write about sports and have fun doing it, but I'd much rather be a broadcaster than a writer, which is exactly why I'm not a writer. So many people write and they love what they do. To those people, more power to them. Although I do like to write about topics that interest me, I don't consider myself a true writer because it's not my shtick and it's not something that I consistently enjoy doing.

  1. I agree with most of your statements. While I consider myself a writer, You don't need to consider yourself a writer to be a good writer, but that works in reverse too. You are a good writer, which makes you a writer. To each, his own. I think this is very well done.
