"Everyone has talent. What is rare is the courage to follow the talent to the dark place where it leads."

“On a similar note, while you're free to think whatever you like about my life and death, if you think I wasted my life, I'll tell you you're wrong. We're all going to die of something. I died doing a job I loved. When your time comes, I hope you are as fortunate as I was.”
-Andrew Olmsted, US Solider, killed in Iraq on January 3rd, 2008 – words from his final blog, written to be put up in the event of his death. (www.andrewolmsted.com

“Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? Love is everything it’s cracked up to be. That’s why people are so cynical about it. It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don’t risk everything, you risk even more.”
– Erica Jong

writer versus author

I’m really confused on this one. Is it true that you’re a writer until you’re published and then you’re an author? Don’t authors write too? And what about novelists (which is how Marjorie has me listed?) And what am I? I think of myself as a writer, I introduce myself (if someone asks) as a writer. I like the term writer.

So this is my unofficial poll, if anyone’s out there - what do you call yourself and why?

  1. Sylvia Day Says:

    I call myself a romance writer and romance author interchangeably. It was actually Genevieve who came up with the by-line “Author of Sensual Romances”. Obviously, I liked it! *g*

    I specify “romance” because I think more of us should. There’s a stigma attached to reading and writing romance that I refuse to buckle under. ;)


  2. Jerri Says:

    Steph, I call myself a writer. Hopefully soon… I’ll be a paid one.

  3. Sasha Says:

    I say I’m a writer. And I don’t ussually specify erotica, or romance or whatever, unless I’m trying to make a point with someone. It’s not a big deal either way though. I think. :)


  4. Steph T. Says:

    Phew - okay. SO it was just a few writers/authors/novelists out there making up random rules again. I wish they’d stop doing that.

    And yes, Jer - paid writer sounds really really nice.


  5. Larissa Says:

    I say I’m a writer. Though I’ve always thought that if you complete a novel you can call yourself an author. But what about “novelist?” Do you have to be published for that? I’m so confused.

    But then, what else is new? *g*


  6. cece Says:

    I vote for writer. Maybe novelists write literary fiction? which, frankly sounds like an oxymoron *g*
