Ten-minute-long rants about minor word usage are okay if they're posi-rants, right? Here's why I think using the phrase "aspiring writer/author" can actually undermine your creative projects and process. What do you think?

    I once read similar advice regarding film. Don’t say, “I’m going to be..”, rather say “I am...”. It’ll help you believe in you and help others believe in you too.

    I have to agree, too. If you are writing poetry or prose, you are already a writer. I don't like the phrase either.
