Am I a Writer?

I don't consider myself to be a writer. The reason is that I don't like to write and any chance I get to not write, I take. Now I know not all writers enjoy writing but I believe they all do enjoy writing to some extent. To be a writer you have to somewhat enjoy it because if you didnt then there would be no point in you writing. It would be pretty redundant if you wrote as a job but hated to do it; there would be absoultly no point. That would almost be like a surgeon saying "Oh, I absoultly hate the sight of blood". I have never liked writing as far back as I can remember, which would probably be about the 4th or 5th grade. I honestly think my disliking started when schools put learning cursive in the cirriculum. I find it funny now that they made such a big deal back then about learning it and your going to use it all through out high school and so on but the minute we left elementary school we never used it again. I guess it also depends on someones definition of a writer. My personal definition is someone who writes for money or does it in their free time. Merriam-Webster has writer listed as "one who writes". If we were to go by that standard then I suppose everyone in the entire world is a writer but who knows, maybe everyone is a writer.
