What is the definition of the word author ?
Not in the sense of looking it up in the dictionary, but
in the artistic sense. I wrote the book " My Journey as a Combat Medic: From Desert Storm to Operation Enduring Freedom" . Does that make me an author, or just a writter of a book ? I dont know
I am working on another book about working as a male nurse. I am a man and I am a nurse.. so I have something to write about. I enjoy writting. Getting anyone to read it is the hard part. 
I write only when I feel motivated to write. Motivated, inspired and when I have my head into it. I can not simply write or author a book at will.
If I dont have it in me, the words are meaningless.
