Am I a writer?

I guess I would say that I consider myself a writer simply because of the fact that I write frequently and I enjoy doing it. I would never claim that I am some sort of professional writer by any means, but I do write a lot, so in that sense I'm a writer. As far as academics go I'm far superior in my writing and literacy skills than in any type of math or science skills. I also write for a blogging website and I'm an English major, so for those two reasons alone, I'd probably have to consider myself a writer. I'm not sure if it's something that I'll ever be able to make a career out of, but I don't think being a published author is the only thing that characterizes what a writer really is. Anyone who enjoys writing and does so outside of school-related assignments could probably be considered a writer.
