I'm not sure how old your daughter is, but her notion of a writer is different from yours. If you feel you are a writer in your heart, you are. It doesn't matter what your family, friends, clients, customers say.
Daughter is 7. I certainly 'feel' like a writer. But lately the evidence is not there, So I am upping productivity. It's like Cezanne visited a fellow painter one, a young up and comer, and when he arrived at the house, the guy was gone. the studio was empty. 'Oh, I thought he was a painter.' And he never visited again. It's a different definition of 'writer'. Some people write twitter posts and call themselves 'writers.' Perhaps. Probably not. I mean, unless it holds up to literature historically, even considering the contextual shift.
