“Is everyone an author?” (9/25/2015)

          Is everyone an author? First off if I break down the meaning of what an author is I would get other words like writer, publisher, or creator. With these synonyms in mind almost anyone would believe they were a writer strictly because they text written paragraphs to others, email, send letters, or even post subjects on Facebook. However does that really make everyone an author? I would say yes. Allow me to level with you (the reader); when you create a written piece of work of nearly any kind, and post, send, or publish it- you’re an author. Why? Well what do people normally think an author is associated writing? Books. They are normally read by individuals who may choose to share it with friends, parents, or the world around them. People in today’s society do the exact same thing when they have information to spare on Google+, a story to tell on their blog, or a conversation to uphold on their phones (texting). They’ll share what they have learned with others, or continue writing back, and forth on the subject if any.

          They’ll of course fall into different levels of what an author is, or go by other names. Some will post on their blogs with small paragraphs to answer a question, and then be called bloggers. Others will write pages among pages of their story, or of another in a leather binding, and be called writers. No matter what the case, or name they are all authors. Everyone is an author.
