Is Everyone an Author?

After reading the introduction to “Everyone’s An Author”, I am now convinced that anyone can be an author. I used to view the term author as a very specific title for people who wrote literature for a living, but I now see that anyone can be an author in multiple ways. While the advancement of technology has certainly aided this concept, simple things like writing a letter or a to do list is expressing thoughts and ideas as much as writing an article would be. The contexts are certainly different, and some forms of writing are more formal than others, but there are no restrictions to the level of formality an author must posses in order to be considered one. And like anything, the more you do something, the better you become at the skill. There is always room to improve various skills related to being an author. The simplest thing like writing a blog post is working to become a better author. And since everyone is an author, everyone is also a researcher and a student. There is no limit as to how much a knowledge a person can gain in their life. People use ideas from other sources frequently to formulate their own works and also to confirm their own opinions. From essays in college to Facebook posts about the government, writing invariably includes collaborations of multiple authors’s thought and ideas. 

Collaborative Writing on Writing

  Writing is expressing your thoughts and ideas through literature. Writing is a free flow of ideas. It lets us express our emotions in a way that other people can understand.Ways that we use writing in our lives is when we write texts to our friends, family, co-workers, do homework, e-mails, evaluations, agendas, and many more styles. If the audience is younger then we tend to be more informal but if they are older or have seniority/authority over us, we are more formal. We do this because we respect their authority or position. It is also common courtesy. Different forms of communication can send a more formal message depending on the form of communication.

Bio

My full name is Elizabeth Stallings but I prefer to go by Lizzie. I have lived in Washington for the past 10 years and I love the environment here. My hobbies include baking, reading and playing music on the saxophone. I have traveled a lot in my life but my favorite trip was to Rome. There I experienced a whole different culture that I believe has opened my eyes to the rest of the world.
