I came across this on a friend’s Facebook page this morning and thought, “YES!”
How often have I heard, “Oh you write a blog. Do you make any money?” Or, after reading one of my blog posts, “You should be a writer!”
Well, I am. Just because I don’t have a book deal doesn’t mean I’m not a writer.
I wouldn’t know how to go about being a published author any more than I know about performing heart surgery. I don’t write to be published. I write to rescue that abandoned puppy. Sometimes I am that puppy.
And I don’t perform open heart surgery because people would die. As far as I know, my writing hasn’t killed a single person. This week, anyway.

True. Another puppy saved š
Open heart surgery would be too extreme, but sometimes I am getting a CPR from you, that’s for sure š

Could not agree more! We’re all writers here.
