But I haven't until fairly recently ever thought of myself as "a writer." In fact, it wasn't until other people, mainly friends and professors, started giving me this title that I really thought about whether or not I might fit the writer "mold", so to speak. I have always been someone who enjoys playing around with language and experimenting with different orders of words. Likewise, I have always gotten a kick out of trying to deduce which combination of these words is actually capable of inspiring absolute beauty. That being said, I don't really know if I have hit the mark on that "absolute beauty" bit, but, nevertheless, the goal is one I think ties into the question I would like to pose in this blog entry.
What exactly are the qualities that make someone a writer -- and better yet -- what are the qualities that make someone a good writer?
Is it writing prolifically? Putting together a sentence which is rhythmically, metaphorically, and logically spellbinding? Or is it all a matter of opinion, as many argue is the case with all art forms?
I'd love to hear everyone's feedback!
