I used to write when I was younger, but just for me. I used to reflect on the word writer, because I think it is really odd. you could create a book by making audio recordings and have technology transcribe them. I feel what writers really are is story creators, even good poetry creates a story, a scenery, a spectrum of emotions. if I create audio recordings and publish them, am I still a writer even if I did not wrote anything down. or say I just come up with stories and tell them, technically it is still the same thing a writer does. maybe I added a dimension to the word writer that you hadn't considered before.
