I had several published books before I started calling myself a writer. In fact, until I switched from non-fiction to fiction, it didn't feel like I was a "real" writer.
Not ridiculous at all! I didn't see myself as a 'writer' for a long time: And I feel like I see that tendency a lot more with fellow non-fiction writers, for whatever reason!

Ridiculous, I know...

That’s because all their non-writing friends and family think fiction is the only REAL writing.
Yes I definitely think that’s part of it too!
