Am I an Author?



I started wondering as I wrote the material for the dreaded “About me blurb.”  I always feel weird writing that kind of thing.  I get done and think, why would anyone be interested in someone like THAT?  Yeah, I’ve had an interesting life with a lot of ups and downs and a sprinkling of excitement here and there.  But I digress.

More than anything I looked at the heading.  About the AUTHOR.  Am I an author?  Does it count if no one ever read my work other than a few family members and friends who were “drafted” as test readers?  Somehow the word author has a certain power and mystique to me; a title to be earned, not given, and certainly not simply adopted.

I shall have to mull that over.
