When Is A Writer An Author?

A writer is an author all the time, but the one distinction, I believe, is putting your writing out for all to read. I believe that as long as you write and don't share your writing, you're still a writer, but you become an author when you decide to take the risk of sharing your writing with others.   By allowing others to experience your work you open yourself up to comments, criticism, and input-some of which is all good and can improve you as a writer.

I encourage you to take a chance.  Writing in "full view" can be easily achieved by simply creating a blog, journaling or more. What you may discover could change and improve your writing beyond what you even dreamed possible.
