Jennifer WeinerIf a writer writes poems and short stories and novels, but nobody ever reads them, is she really a writer?
About This Quote
This quote is probably inspired by the fact that the most popular way to be published today is through social media. A lot of people are getting their work out into the world. However, unless many people read it, it doesn’t really count. The writer’s goal should be to get her work in front of the eyes of the people she wants to reach with it. As she writes, she should know that if she never gets published or her work is not liked by others, she will still be a writer regardless.
