What makes you a writer? Every writer can write her own definition. To say that I have the only definition of a writer would be completely contrary to the open and free less-ruled life today's generation of artists enjoy. You see today, innovation is king.
Innovation changes the world. It happens when someone takes a creative idea and puts it into trial. As a writer you are free to try whatever your creative mind desires.
Is the outcome the measurement of whether or not you're a writer? If you're putting out writing, then you are a writer. If you have a piece to show, then you are a writer. If you show a piece publicly, you are even more a writer. If you sell a piece, you are truly a writer. If you write a piece someone else reads or sings, you are a very creative writer. If you write something that becomes a great and well-known hook, you're an acclaimed writer.
If the piece you put out is poorly written you are a writer who writes poorly. If the piece you put out is too odd and unique for some, you may be a writer before your time or a niche writer.
A writer is not someone that takes writing courses, journalism classes, or is a member of a writers' guild, that is, not unless they are completing pieces and sharing them. Just being part of a writing club does not make you a writer. That is why I laugh when I see advertisements that require an applicant have a degree in journalism. The question is, have they written anything since school?
Write and complete pieces. Put your writing out there. Proudly say you are a writer.
