We Need to Have A Talk About Writing...

Thank you for debating me. You've provided an excellent foil against which to sharpen my ideas. I learned a lot.

I believe I have found another subtle point I haven't made sufficiently. Isn't it important that the stuff they read be your ideas, the specific ideas you're writing about, in that special way you have? Or could somebody else write the stuff, and you'd have achieved your goal? If it is the former, then that makes you a writer by my original definition. If the latter, I don't know. You might be a publisher, or something else. Doesn't mean you can't or shouldn't do the writing yourself, but probably that would be the best way for a publisher to operate: have a writer do it.

Seriously, without our exchange I wouldn't even understand what I was talking about so clearly. Excellent work.

P.S. I get physical withdrawal when I don't have something to write on and with. No matter how poorly I write, I figure that makes me a writer. Being good or bad at it, that's a different thing.
