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?

yea personally I agree, if you write you're a writer

if people feel like they haven't written much so they can't call themselves a writer (I get DMs about this sort of thing), I usually say "write 100 pages of shitty drafts" – doesn't have to be part of anything. the volume alone, if you were half-conscious, will baptize you

endorsed, but I think you and I are descriptivists here, and the real issue is that for some folks there is an IDENTITY, and merely writing 100 pages is not enough to establish that identity external locus of value - they need someone's imprimatur - that may be part of it
