People ask me, 'What do you do?' And I tell them I'm a writer, but always with the silent reservation, 'I am, of course, not really a writer. Hemingway was a writer.'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm a writer; it's not just what I do, but who I am.
I've never thought of myself as a writer. I still don't, despite all the writing I've done.
I don't really consider myself a writer.
I am a writer perhaps because I am not a talker.
I really, honest to God, didn't know what to read until I was out of college and living in Boston, and someone said, 'Well, why don't you read Hemingway?' And I thought, 'OK. I guess I'll try this Hemingway fellow.'
As for the kind of writer I am? I am who I don't pretend to be.
I am a writer because writing is the thing I do best.
I'm the Ernest Hemingway of 140 characters.
A writer is what I am.
I don't call myself a writer.
