A writer can be many things.
And when thinking about writing the first thing that comes to mind is an artist, usually.
I'm not sure I would consider the man who writes the obituaries for the sunday paper an artist. Or an accident report from your insurance company.
Being a "writer" is extremely specific art, and this art has many sub categories: Novels, poem, short stories, fiction, non-fiction....etc.
Overall a writer is a person who uses there experiences, imagination, opinion, and or any other personal bias to try and capture and persuade an audience of a specific nature, through the use of the written language. Which is terrifically different from the spoken language.
Am I a writer? I like to pretend sometimes. I used to write short stories. Once in 5th grade I decided to start writing a novel. So I guess I would consider myself part writer, but I am so many other things. Creative ways to express yourself are endless.
