Is Everyone an Author?


If our whole life is a story, then we all must be authors. The only person that can narrate our life happenings are our own selves. Although not all of us literally write out our life story, mentally we are narrating it every single second of every single day.

Everyone is an author, because everyone has a story to tell. Whether it is published or not, we are all filled with stories, and events, and emotions that can be written as chapters in our book.

There shouldn't be a specific criteria for what it takes to be an author. Obviously authors are typically people who publish their writings, but on the inside we all are.

Lastly, being an author isn't just about writing a book or poem for someone to read. Being an author is telling a story, about whatever you feel interested in telling. Being an author is sharing with your friends and family the small things in life to the big chapters in life that have caused happiness and heartbreak. To publish ones work only means that more people can read the story, so why should someone suddenly be given the title of an author just because they write their stories down?
