How can others be sure you are a writer? Many say they write, but few actually do it frequently enough to be legit. Sit down and write whenever you might have the juice and a few minutes. If a blank page (or computer screen) seems ominous, just start typing. Something will come out, and it may inspire you to words worth saving. Whatever your method, each time you reach a page's end and prepare to meet a new blank page, smile about the little battle you've just won, and remember you are a writer.
You call yourself a writer, huh? Do you write everyday? Do you at least, write “every” day—as in almost everyday? Remember, “Writers write.” They don't go to the coffee shop and look cool with their journal and an espresso at a corner table. Writers don't spend time worrying over their appearance (asking themselves, “Do I look like a writer?”). Writers write, so get to it. Write!
