To me they're the same thing. <BR/><BR/>I don't think it's good to put too much focus on the "writer" tag. When I'm not writing, I'm still a writer. I think it all depends on the person and what they think. <BR/><BR/>Besides, I know how much hard slog goes into producing a book and getting it published. How can I tell them that they're not considered a writer because they've decided to stop at one book? I wouldn't. It's what they think that counts.Shelley Munrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03090469550227550713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18036722.post-9031244078355240522009-01-26T19:06:00.000-05:002009-01-26T19:06:00.000-05:00Kristen, I agree.

Deadlines are of course part of the writing life and many writers produce their best work under pressure, some thrive on it, but is the art of writing compromised at some point by too many deadlines?<BR/><BR/>Kate, thanks for stopping by! I agree that being a writer is something that comes from within - though so many of us [myself included for a long time] hesitate to call ourselves writers because we haven't achieved a specific goal such as being published, or having a NY contract, etc. We are writers because we write, but when we don't write, I believe we have still earned the right to call ourselves writers.Two Voices Publishing https://www.blogger.com/profile/13509265828424193303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18036722.post-89632695256123887842009-01-26T17:39:00.000-05:002009-01-26T17:39:00.000-05:00If I want to be deep about this, I think that whet...If I want to be deep about this, I think that whether you're a writer or not is your own personal decision. It boils down to YOU deciding whether you're a writer or not. It CAN be a designation others bestow on you, but ultimately, it's what you feel you are inside.Kate Willoughbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08923324775303769386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18036722.post-50315676258053703882009-01-26T16:35:00.000-05:002009-01-26T16:35:00.000-05:00I think a writer is always a writer.

However, I think when deadlines loom, writing becomes more of a job and less of an art.Kristen Painterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07984459504977637298noreply@blogger.com
