I voted both. When I was a chil'en, I used to artinate a lot. It was Sr. year of HS that I focused on writing. I really wanna go back & do more drawing again.

Welp, I did go to an art school. I use to write but not so much at the moment. I also use to paint. There's about nothing artistically I haven't done at this point except write a book, so yeah probably a more general term like artist would fit me better than a more specific label.
It's the same damn thing. You know there are sub categories to art right? Sculpture, painting, fashion, writing, culinary, photography, music, etc. All academies I know of definitely puts narrative writing under the arts category.
Where would you put writing 600 words about sofas or wallpaper?
Cause that's usually what I do.
Yes yes, it's all art.Quote:

Such pedantry! :3
Neither. I'm a Shepherd. :p
Pretty much anyone can move boxes around all day, not everyone can get two books published as well as freelance work. I'd say you're a writer.Quote:

Why don't you tell me if I am any good at writing?
For me, writing is definitely hard work, and art is what I do for fun. I've had a couple of art exhibitions, though, and those were definitely work that I couldn't've done if Giggle and Spuuky hadn't helped me.
Both!
I used to tell people that writing was akin to getting your teeth pulled.Quote:

Now I need a different analogy.
No music option?
Music is art.
Technically, writing is as well.
Music should have it's own option and you know it :colbert:
Music could be considered both if you play an instrument and write songs. Or it could be consider art if you only play. It's open to interpretation.
I sadly fail in both, but I use the excuse that if you find an artist who doesn't consider himself a failure, he isn't an artist. :)
Alas, I shall not participate in the pseudo-academic discussion here about what is and isn't art. =P
