Here’s my opinion on this matter, and perhaps it might seem a bit strange to you. I believe that even if someone makes a living from writing, that doesn’t necessarily make them a writer. They are more of a professional author. For me, a writer is someone who can, through their text, make me care deeply about a character or captivate me so much that I can’t put the book down until I’ve finished it. And when the book ends, I feel a touch of sadness and even envy toward those who haven’t read it yet, who still have the chance to experience it.

Perhaps, for me, the word "writer" is always intertwined with a sense of magic. There’s something enchanting about it. Maybe I romanticize it too much, but I like to think of it that way. It’s just my opinion, the opinion of a reader. Although, to be honest, even the word "reader" feels a bit too grand for me.
