Red Room Where the Writers Are

When are you a writer? Is it when you become published? Or are you writer since the day you began writing your not published work? I have had these questions for a long time...

We live inside a society that wants to exploit art commercially.

Anyone else find blogging awkward?  It seems to me it's a bit like leaving a message on an answering machine - which I hate.  All I end up doing is babbling and this feels a lot like that. .

I've felt the need to write and re-write and write again. The feeling is getting stronger. I think I'm almost ready to move forward with my own, personal story/stories.

Here is a link to an interesting New York Times article about the number of books published every year.
