 Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Writer   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Accordingly, a writer in specialist mode may rank as a poet, novelist, composer, lyricist, playwright, mythographer, journalist, film scriptwriter, etc. (See also: creative writing, technical writing and academic papers).
Writers' output frequently contributes to the cultural content of a society, and that society may value its writerly corpus -- or literature -- as an art much like the visual arts (see painting, sculpture, photography), music, craft and performance art (see: drama, theatre, opera, musical).
For instance, advertising creatives, gag-writers and graffiti artists also refer to themselves as "writers." In these contexts, "writer" may be considered an alternative use of the term, rather than describing a so-called "literary" or "serious" writer as discussed above.

 A Writer's Life: I See a Lawsuit Coming
This is the flip side of the "cultural appropriation" debate that was all the rage a few years ago: feminists arguing that men shouldn't write from a female point of view; African Americans saying whites shouldn't write from a fl POV; Native Americans saying non-Natives shouldn't write from a Native POV, and so on.
Writers should be free to write whatever they can do convincingly.
But if they made their decision based on the fact that this writer will not reach a general market, but could do well in a niche market, then I'd say it's an economic decision.

Danny Wallace, a 27-year-old Brit, is an award-winning TV-comedy producer, a precocious freelance writer (he'd written for 12 different national magazines and newspapers by the age of 16), and—oh yeah—a cult leader.
Certainly it's been a nice thing for Wallace: He became a European sensation, his Joinees call him The Leader, and his book Join Me, which chronicles the founding and growth of this movement—and the tolls the movement took on The Leader's personal life—is being published in the United States next week.
In the earlier days, I was a little uneasy with the term "cult leader," because cults tend to get a bad press, but my cult is a nice cult.

 When opportunity knocks, Say Yes More - Lifehacker
Blogger Bert Webb discusses the latest book by British writer Danny Wallace, who spent a year saying, "Yes," to every opportunity given to him in hopes of getting out of a bit of a funk.
Though the results of Wallace's "Say Yes More" mantra range from amusing (knowingly entering into an Internet scam) to surprisingly effective, it certainly reminds us that negativity can serve as a barricade to progress and opportunity.
When I heard Danny on a radio interview tell of his experiences, I immediately thought of endless meetings at work where ideas were brought up and then shot down in a flurry of negativity.
