The past two Novembers, I've participated in NaNoWriMo and written a 50,000 word novel in 30 days in my "spare time" after work, on weekends, in the car, etc. I'm sure you can do it, and I'm sure it will be better than mine. ;) I’ve written two “books” now.

In the same way that dusting off an old pair of sneakers and running makes you a runner. I have never believed that you need to be published to get to call yourself a writer, in the same way that you don't have to win a marathon to call yourself a runner. But I still think it is amazing that you are working on a book and I can't wait to see it at my local bookstore! I have already pre-ordered Caitlin's Operation Beautiful book and I can't wait for the day it willl arrive in my mailbox. =) Personally, I have always thought that simply writing something makes you a writer.

I don't like to think that any collection of words "defines" me, as I feel that it changes on a daily basis. Words that will always remain, though: writer because it's something I can't go a day without doing and it's how I best communicate; singer because I do it when I'm happy, sad, elated, bored, I do it subconsciously; family gal because I truly need my family to survive; lover because I can't help but feel that every day... That's all for now! For the words that define us, I don't think there needs to be "proof," as in a published work or an album or what-have-you. I believe it's what you feel in your heart every day that defines you. Oh how tough this question truly is!

It's how you feel inside. Looking for outside feedback to define you can get dangerous. Maybe the boundary can be writer vs professional writer - something from which you earn money. But that's another story... That being said, congratulations on taking the next step! How exciting!!! I think anyone who writes is a writer, just as anyone who creates is an artist.

(just 3 months away!) my family and faith also define me. without those, i would be lost indeed. i thoroughly enjoy your blog, thank you for writing! that is so exciting, a real writer!!!

I would say I take a lot of identity from my job in advertising, but I know that is dangerous. So beyond that, I will say my positive spirit and sense of adventure. =) What defines me?

My husband aspires to quit his counseling job and be a full-time writer. Hopefully, someday he will get there, too. I am defined by my sense of humor, my sense of fairness, my work ethic and my giddiness at all things nerdy. Congratulations, Jenna!
