You can avoid the mantra of “A writer is…” or not, some people prefer it some don’t.
I wrote this because of everything that a writer is or capable of being. A writer can control your mind, your world with simple words if you’ll allow them. A writer can spend all their life as a simple John or Jane and never see their hard work reach fame. Some writers luck up and have their time in the spotlight. The point is not everyone can be a writer or should I say a successful writer at that but a writer can be anyone and you can compare a successful writer to a closet writer but they all seem to have the same things in common, when it comes to mind, body and soul, the biggest difference is who is published and who is not.
