Do you call yourself a writer?
Based on the discussions we have had in class about writing, the writing process and the reading selections on writing, personally I would not call myself a writer. In my opinion a writer is someone who actually enjoys writing, is good at writing, writes journals, and/or makes something of their writing. I would not call myself a writer because I do not write just for the enjoyment of writing or for a meaningful purpose. With saying that I do not mean that I do not write at all, just that when I write it is usually for class writing out notes or for an assignment. I can write and sometimes I do enjoy writing and do well but I do not write for fun like in a journal. Most of the time when I write it is because it is required that I write something or have to write a paper or blog. I would not call myself a writer because I would not consider someone who only writes when it is necessary or for an assignment a writer.

Interesting...we'll discuss these issues of self-definition further in class.
