I write, therefore I am a writer. It doesn't matter if I write for publication or not, whether I am publisher or not. I write, which makes me a writer.<br />

Similar, in my mind, to a mother. She is a mother whether she has one kid or twenty, and (like it or a not) whether she takes care of her kids well or not. She is still a mother.<br />

I used to struggle with this, finally came to a conclusion that works for me. So long as I write regularly, I am a writer. When I get published, I'll be an author. So ling as I write regularly with the goal of being published, I am a pre-published author.<br />

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
