Aspiring writer? Seriously?

I hate the term “aspiring writer.”

I really do. I figure you either write or you don’t.

I write, so I’m a writer. Whether I get paid or not (which I don’t and is a gross error on the part of all agents everywhere) has never been a determining factor to me.

I have no formal education or training. I didn’t go to school to learn how to be a writer, thank GOD!
