The first problem I faced after I finally decided that I am a writer is what to spend more time on the blog or writing on directly? It turns out that for me this blog is a space where I realize myself as a writer and blogger at the same time. Difference between a blogger and a writer is quite conditional and touches on the broader question of who is a writer?

Everything is clear with the blogger.

Yes, I am a true blogger.

I created my own site and I have a goal to make it popular.

I want it to be read by people coming and learning about my work, to get acquainted with the topics I reveal in my posts. I write a lot every day. For the 34th day in a row I published some kind of post on the site. Site working is boiling. Blog is developing, it is being raised by me like a child, like a third cat, like a tree growing from seed.

Does it stop me from being a writer? 

Not at all.

I write, so I am a pen worker, I am a pen master, I am a writer by default.

But the writer exists both as a broad concept and as a profession.

Is my intention to be a writer enough to call myself like that without hesitation, or do I still have to reach a certain level that eloquently testify I am a writer? What should it be? What should it look like? What level exactly?

These are the first questions I need to solve.

So, I’ll allocate a separate article where I will look in detail who is called a writer. It will be useful both for me and others, like me, who are starting that interesting and adventurous path.

Currently, my site work can be perceived by me as the writer working. But I want to go further. 

I want to be published, I want to be printed, I want to have my own books, I want them to be read, flipped, sniffed

I am a blogger and writer that now undertakes the first steps and sets a question. Not simply if that, but those, that he is disturbed.

Every minute that I spend on the blog could be spent writing fiction for a future book. Isn’t it? But if I want to have a popular site, then I can’t stop writing here, I can’t just pick up and throw away a business which I like and in the future can bring benefits in different ways.

Especially since I plan to publish my works on the site. At the moment, a couple of them are already in the “Stories“, “Notes” and “Photo Stories” sections. Actually, you could be a writer and a blogger at the same time. It is only necessary to allocate the time I will devote to the blog and directly to the literary works creation for further publication.

My personal task is to understand exactly how much time I should spend on each of these areas during the day

My musings look a bit weird mostly because I’m just writing my thoughts. I voice the course of my thoughts, now I do not think this post will be good, informative. I allow others to experience my current condition in this way and understand what is bothering me.

I also got thinking, plan some things today and decided that in the near future I will write articles with the following content:

  1. A story about my personal path to writing. How I became a writer, why, what for, etc. This is a small excursion into the past, getting to know me.
  2. Why is the site in English, although I am a Ukrainian writer and I plan to write in Ukrainian, of course, because it is my native language.
  3. The first steps to be taken in order to become a writer.
  4. Who will never be a writer. My Own Observations History.
  5. Who is a writer? This topic was added at the end of the day, when I began to reflect on the fact I am more a blogger than a classic writer now who writes books and is printed on paper.
  6. Who is a modern writer? It will be more of a research story, an introduction to an active writers generation. I want to study the current state of affairs in literature. Perhaps the output of this article will take a little longer. I know I will be interested in exploring this theme, I can spend a lot of time on it.
  7. The mindset that helped me become a writer. This article may not come out soon either, because it touches on many big topics that I may want to do like large-scale publications. Here I will talk about what helps me realize myself as a writer. This will be the opposite topic to the one entitled “Who will never be a writer”. I already call myself a writer, I see myself in this role, I intend to follow this path. So I can tell you what helped me to get to this point, to this condition, to describe this mindset, to make a more detailed analysis of myself, including for myself. The article is primarily about strengths, about bonuses that facilitate movement.

This will be enough for a start.

These are the topics I noted for myself immediately after publishing the article “First Step of a Long Journey. I am a Writer”.

Well, of course, the question that was voiced at the beginning of this post will also be published by me in the form of a separate article, where I will share with readers my own conclusions and decisions about how I distribute my time and energy as a blogger and writer.

Feel free to leave your comments.

The first people who started this journey with me will be remembered for a long time. Maybe forever, who knows.

I will be glad to be useful to my readers, this is one of the reasons for my activity on the blog.

I do writing not only for myself, but also for others.

The thought that I am useful to someone warms me in these difficult times…

And Right now I’m going to watch a movie (for the second time) about a writer called “The End of the Tour” (2015). Feel free to read the Review right here,
