Christopher C. Meeker
Stop aspiring and start writing. As long as you 'aspire' to be a writer, you'll never actually 'be' a writer. Look, if you've written something, anything; a poem, short story, novella, rap song, you are a writer. Whether you're paid to be a writer or not is another topic completely. Being paid or not paid doesn't define whether or not you are a writer. Writing defines whether or not you are a writer. I know authors who sell thousands of books that aren't worth the paper they're written on and I know authors who write for themselves and are deserving of a Pulitzer. Writers write; dreamers dream. Be a writer that writes, not a writer that dreams of writing.
