I think this pushes some writers into self-publishing.<BR/><BR/>It's weird that I know this and feel this way, but I have a hard time calling myself an author when I haven't published. When people ask what I do I still say I'm a stay at home mom. Why is that? I'm a writer! And I spend a significant amount of my time doing that.lotusgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06663641163048764869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4942400001330848866.post-88759260018142357682008-11-24T17:26:00.000-08:002008-11-24T17:26:00.000-08:00Why is it that someone questions if a person is re...Why is it that someone questions if a person is really an author if they are not published - but if an artist hasn't sold a painting they can still call themselves an artist.<BR/><BR/>You write.

I also go through different conversation scenarios in my head.<BR/><BR/>I write because I can't stop myself. <BR/><BR/>Yea! I'm an author--unpublished and maybe bad or good, who knows, but an author none the less.lotusgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06663641163048764869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4942400001330848866.post-21800601296250558762008-11-20T07:24:00.000-08:002008-11-20T07:24:00.000-08:00I say, just write what you want to write and what ...I say, just write what you want to write and what makes a good story. If it means you become filthy rich, who cares--today being a "sell out" has such negative connotation, but it's just what I want to be--so rich and famous that people are clamoring for the next thing I come up with!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11431700962951592287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4942400001330848866.post-12317850402196394432008-11-19T18:43:00.000-08:002008-11-19T18:43:00.000-08:00I write because I have to, and then I figure I mig...I write because I have to, and then I figure I might as well make money off it. I do a lot of corporate communications and the odd one-off for ad agencies. Also creative stuff for the local paper. If I didn't get paid for that I would still write. It's always been my last resort; if I'm mad at someone I continuously compose either real or "in my head" letters to them. Let's put it this way; if I no longer got paid I wouldn't stop.<BR/><BR/>You are for sure an author. You've written something, haven't you?? You may be called a good author or a bad author, but you are still a bonefied Author.Kristen, spinninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05423048975992600692noreply@blogger.com
