One thing that i am sure about is that i can express! Does that make me a writer? I enjoy writing things of my mind like quotes, "Determinism is a character force", "Language is a form of communication", "There is no language without expression." etc. I don't really know why i like to create such things, but they come to me.... It could be nothing! I just want some advice from you people, that's all!

A writer is someone who put words on a piece of paper. It can of any genre, form or quantity. It doesn't matter how good or how bad it is, it's your works and you wrote it.

I think a writer is someone who feels the need to put things into writing and who needs to communicate to other poeple through writing. I do consider myself to be a writer. I have had work published offline as well as online. I write every day. I can't remember a time when I did not like to write.

To me, any one who writes quotes, short stories, articles, poems, novels, or any form of creative writing (as a hobbie or in their spare time) is a writer. Not all writers are good at what they do, of course. But if they enjoy it and it helps them express feelings, then it is okay that they call themselves a writer. Others may disagree with me, and say you are not a writer unless you have a job that requires you to write. But I believe that anyone can be a writer. I consider myself a writer. I have many articles posted online. I also enjoy writing poetry, ect. I was born with the ability to spell, read, write, and basically everything needed to be a decent writer. No, I am not bragging, as I could be much better at what I love to do. But I am proud, and I consider myself very lucky. So, if you find that these quotes just come to you, then maybe you could make a good writer. You could start your own book of quotes?
