WD Oct 2015 Challenge: Define Yourself as a Writer

For the heck of it this month, I'm going to participate in the Writer's Digest 2015 October Platform Challenge (click on the link to read what it's about). 

So here's Day 1:

Define Yourself as a Writer

For the first day of this challenge, I want everyone to take a step back and define yourself as a writer. Don’t worry about where you want to be. Instead, focus on who you are, what you’ve done, what you’re currently doing, etc.
