For some time, and still at times depending on who is saying and how, I feel offended being referred to as a "blogger." I know that I shouldn't. Blogging is not something someone less important or less successful than anyone else does. It takes courage, knowledge, and vulnerability most days.

Fro...Amy, thanks for setting forth on this topic. <br /><br />From my own journey I know that "being a writer" has nothing to do with what anybody else thinks or says, what is or is not in print or even the quality, style or form. <br /><br />In my case it has taken me a lot longer to allow myself to claim the title "writer" than it has taken for others to consider me as such.
