A Writer

A writer is a person who lives and breathes words; he or she cannot help but write, it's in their soul, in their heart, and in their mind. They may not be especially good, but what separates them from wannabes is that they put their heart and soul into the writing, why? Because the writing is in their heart and soul; they give it their best.

The REAL Definition Of A Writer

A real writer is someone who feels the need to share their soul with others. A real writer is someone who changes others not by design, but by default. A real writer is someone who has something inside of them that is scraping and clawing its way out of their inner depths and is shown to others, saying, "See? This is what I am. This is my monster, who I am. Love me or hate me, this is me." A real writer loves to create, to shape the minds of others through their words alone.

A wannabe is someone who writes for any other reason.

Writers just wanna

Wannabes wanna BE. Writers just wanna.

In my earliest writing days, I considered it important to refer to myself as a writer, even though I understood I wasn't much of one yet. It was my own game of "fake it till you make it" because if I waited for someone else to crown me or something, I would be waiting forever.

I'm grateful to myself that I faked it till I made it; the making it doesn't un-fake the faking it period.

Someday the wannabes may get to be. By the time they are, they are too busy with the wanna to know when it happened.
