I really consider myself a writer, and a writer who is sometimes a social critic. I'm not an ideologue, I don't join a party. I follow along and take notes. Sometimes I throw in my two cents.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm not the sort of writer who can walk into a party and take a look around, see who's sleeping with whom and go home and write a novel about society. It's not the way I work.
I'm a writer; it's not just what I do, but who I am.
A writer is what I am.
I've never thought of myself as a writer. I still don't, despite all the writing I've done.
I'm very happy with the way I write. I think I do it good. But I've never really considered myself a writer.
When somebody asks me what I do, I don't think I'd say critic. I say writer.
I consider myself kind of a reporter - one who uses words that are more like music and that have a choreography. I never think of myself as a poet; I just get up and write.
I don't think of myself as a critic at all. I'm a reviewer and essayist. I mainly hope to share with others my pleasure in the books and authors I write about, though sometimes I do need to cavil and point out shortcomings.
I don't call myself a writer.
I don't really consider myself a writer.
