The Challenge of Being a "Writer"

Are you a writer of any kind?  Do you like the satisfaction of getting creative ideas down on "paper"?  Whether its a story, a blog, poetry, news, etc? I am no pro, but writing, I have learned, brings me joy.  Good or bad, I call myself a writer.  Not because I am published, well known or even good at it, but the joy it really does bring me, the life that it gives, is enough for me to call myself a writer.
