am i a writer?

I used to be a waiter, now, i am trying my hand at writing. I have no formal training. Shit just pops in my head. Good or bad. I put it down. It will probably get me in trouble. Who cares? Do you care if I get in trouble? Hell, no. I have started writing a novel. I would post it, here, but I am afraid some asshole will steal it thinking it makes sense and they just may make a dollar off it. I like it. I love to read and have read a lot books and if I read my book not knowing that I wrote it I would enjoy it. Is that possible? I am gonna finish my book and try to peddle it to the publishers. See what happens. That's about all I got, today. Not even a burn. theblogmeister
