am I a writer?

A writer, in my opinion, is someone who puts their thoughts/insights on a piece of paper allowing readers to absorb and interpret his/her piece of work. A person does not that have to be a "certified" writer to consider themselves a writer. I feel that everyone is a writer, if even they do not enjoy the action of writing. We all have opinions, thoughts, feelings and when we right those down, we are expressing them to the general public. One does not have to be an amazing writer in order to be considered a writer. I do not have to publish a book in order to say that I have written something in my lifetime. We write on this blog, we write papers, we write reviews. If we are not writers, then what is that action called? Does our thoughts just appear in front of us? Do we not have opinions of our own we tend to express on paper? I.am.a.writer.
