Last night I went to a super crazy Christmas party where I didn't really know anyone. So I met new people. One of these people was a friend of Ange (the hostess). We were making all the usual small talk... and when she asked me about my job, I did the best I could to explain what it is that I do.
Girl: "So, do you do any writing at your job?"
ME: "No... I'm not really a writer."
Girl: "But do you write?"
ME: "Yeah... but not at work."
Girl: "So you like to write... and you write for fun..."
ME: "Yeah... but I'm not really a writer."
Girl: (laughing) "You're totally a writer. Don't be so modest about it. Just because you don't get paid for it, doesn't mean it doesn't count!"
ME: "I guess you're right. Awesome! I'm totally a writer."
Sweet.

That's funny, because I totally do not consider myself a writer anymore. In my mind, blogging is separate from writing. But I guess it isn't. What a revelation!
