Am I a writer?

I do not consider myself a writer. I only write whenever I have something assigned to me. I do not do journals or any of those kind of things. I also have trouble making things sound sophisticated and professional like many writers do in their books. I could never write something the length of a book with only my ideas and not being able to quote any other person. I feel like to be a writer you have to enjoy it and want to sit and write like all the time. I do not hate writing I just do not have the urge to constantly write whenever I do not have to. To be a writer I think you have to be awesome at reading and comprehending. I am a great reader, but however I am not so great at comprehending big words or articles that are boring. I think that being a great reader helps to be a writer because you can use your reading and comprehension skills to write better and I do not really have all of those. To be a writer you also need great grammar skills and my grammar skills are lacking. I am also really bad at making things flow sometimes and making everything make sense together. All of these skills are needed to be a writer and I do not have these. I also have trouble starting my paper like how do I begin this? what do I need to include in this paper? I tend to constantly have writters block. This is probably not one of my stronger posts because I really struggled with what to say and how to fit the word count.

  1. I definitely agree i feel like i only write for school assignments, and that wouldn't really make me a writer. Also, i hate grammar and feel like i probably don't write well enough to be considered a "writer" i think what you said made a lot of sense...
