am a writer (analysis and improved version)

-The teacher said clearly she hated the technique of just saying a topic and making students write, then she said "but today I wil do it" and I was not smart enough to notice it was tricky.
-I just started writting what came to my mind without a plan, structure, different drafts or corrections.
-I didn't take into account the steps of writting
-I didn't have a dictionary.

I am  not a writer

   Postmodern culture is making each of use believe we are artists, and we deserve social recognition,  I don't agree with that widely spread idea. Even when the great writer Jorge Luis Borges said once he was much more proud of what he had read than of what he had writen, there is still a tendency to show off about artistic activities such as writing. we all sing in the shower, and we are not singers, we speak to an audiece, and we are not radio speakers. So writting doesn't mean we are writers.
   There are a few bright persons who have the gift, the others, us, the simple mortals, can play to  Construct new realities, give life to interesting creatures, and enjoy the process, however, we wont still be writers, we are persons that write. I love using the social networks to make my friends laugh, and I have been writing jokes since I learnt how to write. I also write some short stories, and desordered "out of any gender" notes. I do enjoy it. Unluckily, I am not gifted, so this writings are not of outstanding quality.
 To read and to write, two sides of the same communicative process. both of them are really enjoyable, and helps us to increase our cosmovision. As writers need a lot of reading. There are different ways of scaping from realitty, literature is far much better than drugs. So, give books a try.
