If youse writin’, you a writer. If youse written and on a break, you still a writer. If you thinking, planning, and practicing your writing, YOU A WRITER.
Fanfiction, journal writing, role-playing, drabbles/ficlets/oneshots, all count as writing. Being a published author is a (a) goal, but not a requirement. Just do you.
If you’re sitting there following blogs and supporting writeblrs, but haven’t started writing or really plan to, you’re a reader and we absolutely need you. Like, obviously, you’re essential to the whole process.
