I have been thinking for a while as do most writers what constitutes a writer, when would I consider myself to be a writer. When is it a hobby as opposed to a calling etc…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imposter Syndrome is a big thing for writers, how many times have I been asked what I do outside of work and I will list a few things:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Days out with family<\/li>
  2. Reading<\/li>
  3. Playing games<\/li>
  4. Motorbikes<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Then I will absently say I like to do a little writing. I have always said to people that if you write, you are a writer but I am not sure if I even believe it myself. Hence Imposter Syndrome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I am a classic procrastinator and I spend most of my writing time world-building rather than writing and this is something I am trying to work on. However, I have written a couple of terrible Novellas (during NaNoWriMo) and I have lost of started but unfinished stories\/ideas. I am trying to turn this around now and start doing more actual writing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I think for me I can say I am a writer, but I wont ever be truly happy until I can say I am a published writer, and to get this I need to actually finish something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
