Am I a Writer?

When I look at myself, I don't really see a writer. I don't see myself as a writer for many different reasons. The first reason is when I think about a writer I think of someone who has published and sold their works. I do not see an average person writing a paper for school as a writer. I also see a writer as someone who got a degree in writing and knows all the procedures of writing. I myself am not a writer because I haven't ever published a work or sold a work. I have only written because I had to for a class grade not for enjoyment or money.

But, in a way it all depends on how you interpret the question. If your not looking at a writer as a a professional writer than yes I do see myself as just a writer. In a way I do see myself as a writer because I do write sometimes in my life. The writings are usually for school purposes but you could define it as writing. I also could define myself as a writer because i do use all the parts of writing, such as topic sentences, capitalization, punctuation and things of that sort. So, judging on the way you interpret the question could define me as a writer or not.
