        With pride, I consider myself a writer --- a writer-by-heart, a writer who uses heart.

      I haven't studied creative writing or any related course, but my advocacy to literature gives me the right to proclaim strongly that I'm a writer.

     I have only completed two literature subjects in college yet I have read several materials. That's what makes me a writer.

       Mock me now! Laugh at me loud. i don't care! I will still call myself a poet, a fictionist, a novelist, an essayist, a playwright, a psalmist, a scriptwriter or, in short, a writer.

       Yes, I'm a writer because I love books. I was called once a bookworm or library person by my co-staffer in our college paper. Voraciously, I read a lot, because I do believe, all greatest writers are voracious readers. All books, in addition, were made because the authors read. Reading is indeed part of writing.

       Huh! I'm a writer because I underwent boredom before. My lonesome was then cured by writing a novel. I should say, writing is form of boredom management.

                 Ouch! My heart was broken by a girl. For that, I'm a writer. I have forgotten that I was severely devastated by so-called love when I finished a poem. It's true. Writing is a great healer. Writers become open-minded and pain-proofed.

        Have I convinced you now?

       Then, I a a writer. Writing is my hobby. Often, I write for the sake of collection. My secondary purpose of writing is to have a compilation of literary pieces that I can pass on to my next generation. It's possible, isn't it? Literature, like history, repeats itself and lasts forever as long as it is appreciated.

       Writer is me.. Writer is me!

       I'm writing because I wanted to make my pieces into a book. Who knows? I have been rejected several times but I will not quit writing by a mere rejection. Every well-known writer had experienced failure. they were once criticized and rejected. Yet, they stand still for the same goal. Writers, therefore, are not quitters!

        I'm writing because I have got inspirations --- beautiful ladies who stole my heart and turned my head;  friends, who treated me special: family with endless love and understanding: spectacular views and places around: and everything under the sun and above the land. A good writer is, in fact, observant. He could conceptualize even from the smallest thing he sees. our world is full of writing ideas.

        Call me materialistic or whatever. It doesn't matter to me. The truth is I'm writing because of rewards. Oftentimes, magazines and journals advertise an invitation for a literary or writing contests. I have been an applicant many times before. despite of failure, i'm still hopeful. someday, I could hit the prize. However, it is not only the at-stake that matters to me, but the pride. Being chosen among the aspirants is such a rewarding experience. Awardees are those who stand out and prominent. Their words were paid off and at the same time, they were put to the hall of the most famous people.

         I'm a writer. I will not be tired to write it.

         I'm a writer..

         I'm a writer..

         I'm a writer..

         I will not be tired to write, rather..
