This just really was a blessing to me and has helped me to put some of my very heart into words that are tangible.
I am a writer.
There, I said it. And, I believe it.
I have never been one to call myself a writer. I'm not grammatically correct nor really love grammar that much. I'm not a book-caliber writer. But, I do write.
You know what? I can't help writing...if I'm in my quiet place with my Bible and really learning and gleaning - my hand is fairly itching for a pencil and paper or keys to process the thoughts and jot them down. It is just what I do - I process in words that are not spoken as much as they are typed or written down.
And, that makes me a writer. Because this is how God has made me - to write. I love to write words, to write beauty and light through pictures, to write memories. I don't need to be ashamed to call myself a writer (like I think I have been up to this point) because I am not going to be the next Jane Austen or Beth Moore.
I am a writer. Are you?

And you do it well! And better yet, you share it all with us.
Yes, you're most definitely a writer!
I have been a writer since childhood, and now I get paid to write. Only since receiving paychecks, though, have I really said "I'm a writer." And even now, I hesitate, because I'm not a BOOK writer. I know that it's silly to feel inadequate like that.
Good for you for embracing the talent that God gave you! :)
You write from the heart! and you bless so many of us!
Thank you!
I agree--and I am a writer too. Most often, my audience is simply my family as I pen a daily journal. But it is enough for me to process my thoughts and keep a record of these moments. (Perhaps I will get back to blogging someday...)
Thank you for sharing the gift God has given to you.
as someone who is Not a writer I would most definitly say YES you are a writer. I don't care about grammar and the like. if I read something and it describes the beauty in something and I can see it just from those words then I would say you have a talent. when i can feel an emotion just from a written word then then again you have a talent. you my dear have this talent and I have said it since I have know you and read your blog!! I TOLD YOU SO. LOL. Love you friend, I am so glad you have accepted your gift.
I'm glad you write, friend!
You have a wonderful way of writing from the heart and making me feel like I am sipping tea and having a conversation with you.
You are a writer... and write things I enjoy reading!!! Keep writing!! I also NEED to write but like you have been afraid make it official and call myself a writer.
Way to go! Love it, especially with our recent conversations. BUT, I disagree with you, I think you ARE a book writer. IMO, you should TOTALLY write a homespun crafting book, or a making your home beautiful on a budget book. You should think about it. :)
Blessings to you!
Oh, friends. You have blessed me today. Love and a hug to each of you!

I enjoyed your post. It reminded me a lot of my own thoughts. I too am a writer but have had trouble claiming that title.
