writer? yes or no? (BG)
I don’t consider myself to be a writer because I don’t write every day. I don’t hate writing, its just something I choose not to do in my free time. The only time I really write is for class assignments or for homework. I don’t write poems or books, not even a journal. I think to be considered a writer you would write every day, in your free time, not because you were told but because you want to. Because you have a passion for it. I enjoy writing assignments, but I don’t like to sit down and try to think of something all on my own and then spend all my free time thinking about it. To be a writer seems like it takes a lot of time and dedication, and I don’t think I have either to put into something I don’t like to do unless I am assigned the piece. Writing is cool and everything I just don’t think that its something that I would want to make a career out of. That’s another factor I think that gooses into being writing, making a career out of it. It’s not something I want to do for the rest of my life. I don’t know for sure, but i consider myself to not be a writer.

Good post, Beth. You draw the line that many students do - I write, sure - but I'm no writer.
