Anyone could be a writer if they wanted to, maybe not be a professional writer but write as a hobby. There’s always going to be a difference between the two, of course but if you wanted to be a writer you definitely could! There are many styles and ways of writing to use when writing is used just as a hobby. One of them is what you’re reading right now, that’s right this blog! Blogging are one of the many ways to use for writing while another one is through texting. Although many could say texting wouldn’t be considered as a form of writing but if you think of it this way; whenever you text your friends while telling them a story you give them the beginning, climax and end of the story right? It may not be written professionally but it could still be considered as a form of writing.
I used to also not think texting could make someone a writer but by sending friends/family/etc. Texts about a story you have it is basically becoming the author/writer of that specific story. Being a writer doesn’t technically mean you have to publish a book or anything many people write for fun! it’s also a way many people cope with stress or use writing as a way to let out feelings they don’t know how to tell people in person. Writing is a a beautiful thing because it really does help a lot of people to cope with things going on in their life. Writing can also be enjoyable for people with creative and big imaginations who are great with words and descriptions.
I have a few examples in addition to using texting as a form of writing.
These are text messages from me and my friends, these are rants I tell my friends and when I tell them something that’s bothering me I have to give them the context of the situation. Just like in a story you have to have a beginning, climax, ending(could be the problem getting solved or just the end of the story). It is basically typing away mini stories. I have repeated this multiple times but I’ll say it again being a writer does not have to be professional. Writing could be a way to express emotions, talk about your own feelings, vent to something or someone, etc. The only important thing is if you consider yourself a writer and you’re having fun writing! 🙂
