Most of us have the ability to write, but it’s what you choose to do with that ability that decides whether or not you’re a writer.
If you write things only when you have to, like college essays or thank you notes, then you’re just someone who writes occasionally.
If you love writing and use your ability to write things like short stories, poems, plays, novels, etc, and write even when you don’t absolutely have to, then you’re a writer.
Just my opinion! c:
