Do you consider yourself a writer? It's interesting that as a serious blogger you must create unique, interesting, and informative blog content, so it would be a natural assumption to think that serious bloggers consider themselves writers.

But that's not actually the case. There are many bloggers who would never look at themselves as actual writers. Some simply blog for fun and friendship and have a laid back style of blogging and others maintain a helpful frequently updated blog of tips, tutorials, and go-to material. But the thought of actually being a writer is really not their thing.

Many bloggers would not consider writing their own report, eBook, Kindle book, or story of any kind as an actual author. Their style is simply for blogging and they have no ambitions of writer glory.

On the other hand, the writer who blogs has ideas aplenty for someday finishing their lengthy listing of potential books. Personally I consider myself a writer with a blog as I enjoy writing on a number of topics. I'll even write for you. Blogs and niche sites simply provide me with a means of generating pocket change for supporting my IM habit, uh online marketing business I mean.

So for those reading who also consider themselves writers whether published or not, I wish to share my List of 10 Motivational Quotes by Writers.

Top 10 Motivational Quotes for Writers by Writers

1. "When asked, 'How do you write?' I invariably answer, 'One word at a time,' and the answer is invariably dismissed. But that is all it is.
