The New Yorker's Mia Mercado asks: What Is Writing and Does This Count as It?
• Writing is when you sit—fingertips hovering over your keyboard, cursor blinking on a fresh blank document—and open Twitter for the twenty-eighth time.
• You can tell that someone is a writer because she'll have a pencil behind her ear, a Moleskine notebook in her hand, a pen behind her other ear, coffee on her breath and shirt, eyes that beg for your approval, and a Sharpie she's somehow hidden in her hair.
I have only one laptop sticker, and am therefore not truly a writer.
