      Even "if your writing fails to make you a writer, it may still enable a writer to make you a popular fictional character." This is a warning.https://www.precursorpoets.com/surveillance-fiction/ …

      interesting post, TY ignoring the post and concentrating on the one phase "if your writing fails to make you a writer", you and I have talked before about the social identity of writer, and ...I still find it odd how it's fetishistic for some if you write, you're a writer no?

      I think it is those who aspire (success irrelevant) to have it be their predominant source of income, perhaps?

      that is a reasonable stance, but I've got a hunch that it's wrong (happy to be corrected on this) I strongly get the vibe that Writer™ is an IDENTITY, and it has connotations: witty, intellectual, etc. c.f. Lisa Loeb's persona. It carries with it status in a certain tribe.

          I think these things are highly linked (in the way that OKCupid once got rid of the difference between rating personality and rating looks). The people who want to be known as a writer highly correlates with

          Granted there's a huge swamping effect here of the zillions of mediocre writers who want to make a living doing it but won't, compared to a lot of people writing about things they've done or experienced where it's add-on income to life well lived

          I think @MorlockP is right and while @orthonormalist is praiseworthy in his charitable view of humanity, most people 'in the community' want to be spoken of as someone with deep/beautiful thoughts, and not so much want to be putting in the elbow grease to dig up & polish words.

          I think that a substantial fraction of modern artists and poets are in the same place, hence the popularity of open verse and abstract art, which - having less strict form - is less demanding. Not all, though, and it's important to be sparse with condemnation.
