Do you consider your self a writer ?

I believe that in some cases I feel I am a writer and in some I don't. Being a writer is a complicated thing. Believe me when I go to write a paper I never get anything done in the first writing , I have to do at least two rough drafts before I can submit a paper. When you look at it that is some of the main steps in the writing process that most writers follow or use. But using those writing techniques does not automatically make you a writer. Being a writer I believe takes many years of experiance in the wrinting field in which I do not have. When I have a paper with a subject that I really love and can really get into, I can write and write and go on about it and have my paper become a nice essay. But on the other hand if it is a subject that I am not familiar with and have a hard time understanding it I will not write as well. I guess the point I am trying to make is that when you get into writing is when you have a wonderful subject you know, love and understand. Just like when writers write a story they usually relate it to a family problem or issues they deal with in their life , or just of what they are thinking in their head like a cartoon about their life. A writer would never write about something they hated unless the had to stress a point in an arguement. I think that being a writer is a hard process and is hard to do but if you truly love writing and you could write about anything then I say go for it, but for me on the other hand it's not that simple.
