writer not a fighter

What is a writer? Am I a writer? Are you? why or why not?

A writer is someone who cn portray a story, phrase, or any type of feeling in a creative way. I think I am a writer, but not in the literal sense. I would much rather just draw, or take photographs than write an essay. I feel as though I even if the topic is not something i am interested in, if i try to portray it in a way i like and feel comfortable with it will be a lot better than having to sit at my computer and think of words to fill the pages. I feel like i can express myself in a more meaningful way through art, a way that is unique to me. Not that i dont find writing (like legit pen on paper or fingers typing away) to be creative because it is. I just find that my when writing an essay or assignment, my writing can be very similar to another persons, where as with a photo or drawing it is almost completely unique to me. I am a writer in that way. In the way that i can express my thoughts and ideas in any way i choose, as long as they are expressed.
