2010: Am I A Writer?

Dear Friends,
Last night, I was watching the movie Julie and Julia. As I was watching this, I was thinking if I consider myself a writer. I am a storyteller. I am a computer nerd. However, I have never been called at writer. I have been writing since 1993. My earlier journal entries were on lined paper. My entries were filled with rage and nonsense. From 1993 to 1996, I sounded like a teen living in Detroit, MI. In 1996, when I went to University of Detroit Mercy, that’s when I really wrote my feelings and my dreams. I was writing in journal books. From 1996 to 2002, I have three volumes of journal entries. More of my hard living was from that time period. Anyways, as I was watching this movie, I questioned if I was a writer or not. According to the movie, a writer is not a writer until they are published. I feel like my life would be a good read but my epic based off my life would be better. Tyler Perry basically started the trend of using your life as a base to make plays and movies.
So am I a writer? Not yet because I would need to get a publisher or even an agent. I would need to also write more. I am a blogger. As starting February 1st, I will be doing more blogs aside from my wild and crazy life. Starting in April, I will also have a blog of my adventures in vending. Just like the movie, I plan on keep my goals and these things are set in stone. More to come.
