Focused Free Write- Are you a writer? Why or why not?

A writer is someone who chooses to write something and usually intends for others to read it. I do not consider myself a writer. I only write things when I am required to for class. I usually dont put a lot of effort into my writing and don't usually enjoy doing it. I dislike obscure paper guidelines and strict formatting rules. I would say, however, that I am a pretty decent writer. I can usually earn a good grade with minimal effort and I write quickly and effectively. I think papers are an easy way to get a good grade in a class. I do like to read, but haven't had much time for any books of my own choice because of all of my work for classes. Maybe this summer...
