At what point does a person call themselves a writer? Is it if a person is paid to write? I am not paid to write. 
Is it a person who seems to have a natural flair for writing? I am very limited in my writing prowess. 
I consider myself a writer because A/ a writer is what I aspire to be and B/ because I write over 1000 words a day in different places such as diaries of differing degrees and on Internet pages. This Blog has a steady all time low daily hit rate of two visits a day. But rather than make me want to give up because no one is listening. It makes me believe that I can write more truthfully about a further reaching selection of topics. I hope that I am approaching a new phase with my Blog that I can go more internally subject wise and pierce the skin of lies that we all wear to each other. So long as I am not face to face I cam be honest. But there's always the remaining screen of truth armour. Bold talk is one thing but the truth is ugly and hard to take. 
I am growing in my own confidence in myself recently and continue to do so. 
The next evolution of this project is to write as if I was already dead and gone. I would hope that I convey my life adequately on these pages. I have barely scratched the surface though. There's something very romantic about writing. It also caters to my self absorption  and allows me to be the centre of attention in a world where obey I matter.  I'm eleven days from three months sobriety and I think about drink a lot. Nearly daily. I shall discuss this soon.
