Let us take a moment to remember that having an idea for a story, or even an entire story plotted from start to finish in your head does not, in itself, make you a writer.

As a person who happens to write, I’m surprised this is a debate or that people are offended to find out that you have...
So, as with most fraught semantic arguments, I think the interesting question here is not “where do we draw the line on...
