I meet people every day (mostly online this year!) who want to write a book. Some have an idea, some have started writing and maybe got stuck partway through the process, and some have completed works that have yet to be published.
But many are reluctant to call themselves “Writers”. Is there some secret rule or certification you need to use this title? How does one get from “Aspiring Writer” to “Writer”?
In this week’s Inspired Writing Episode, I talk about when you can call yourself a writer. Hint: you may be one already.
Hi Suzy,
As always, thank you for your enthusiastic and energetic “Inspired Writers” posting.
Am I a writer? I hesitate and say yes. I try to keep this a secret but I do love telling stories. Of late, I have just completed a course through the Alexandria Writers Centre (Rockets to Runes). It encouraged to work on a character and his world, that I have been playing with for awhile.
Hello Writer Ian!
Congrats on your course, I look forward to hearing all about your upcoming book projects… 🙂
I agree! Just write. This was excellent & enthusiastic!
