Is Everyone an Author?

        Yes, everyone is an author, even if they don't know it. Writing is more than writing a book or being a scholar, writing is a form of communication that is essential to our world. Being able to represent yourself and your ideas clearly will always be an asset. With the world wide web, more people than ever before can easily express their opinions across the globe. With social media like Tumblr or Twitter, you can instantly upload content that will be seen by anyone with internet access. Even if someone isn't trying to we heard worldwide, writing is a basic skill you probably use everyday. You send emails, text messages, apply for jobs, write papers; writing is a skill that everyone uses, and everyone uses differently. Everyone is passionate about something, and when we're passionate is when our writing best represents us. In its highest form, we use written word to express and explain ourselves and our beliefs. At the very least, explaining a concept or idea, and communicating at a casual and formal level is something everyone will need to do in their lives. Being able to formally and clearly explain a topic, or yourself is something you need to be able to do to be taken seriously. Regardless what it's used for, writing, and being an author, will always be a skill worthy of bettering.
