You Write?
At what point can you call yourself a writer, a wordsmith, semantic beast, or an author?
Is it based on the quantity of words written every day?
Is it based on the frequency of high syllable words on the page?
Is it based on making the best seller list of everybody’s faves?
Is it based on publicity that amuses a celebrity authors fanbase?
Is it based on an industry monopoly that edits to please everyone in every way?
Is it when we fade away and the copyright extends 70 years after ones last age?
The work you create is all that matters.
The stories will last many lifetimes.
Everything else is superfluous.
