Great piece and reflective of one I wrote a few weeks ago on the same subject: https://medium.com/@faunawolf/how-to-be-a-writer-e3f508392155#.x9shgfbz2

I’d love to know what you think of the piece.

I’ve wrestled with wanting to call myself a writer but not knowing how for so long because of such a title being determined by what makes you income, rather than what a person is genuinely driven to do regardless of whether it pays them. I’ve always been a writer, since I could write, but finally have the confidence to call myself one.
