Although I went to school for writing, ran a literary magazine at my college, and graduated with a BFA and a collection of short stories under my belt, I have always been hesitant to call myself a “writer.” If I ever did mention that I write, it was along with many qualifications… “I’m an executive assistant, but also I like to write, in my spare time,” or, “I have a writing degree, I don’t know if I’d call myself a writer…” et cetera.
