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.Originally Posted by Depression Moon
But we're obviously differentiating between whether you're better at drawing and that kind of visual art or better at writing.
Such pedantry! :3
Neither. I'm a Shepherd.
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.That's more of a job really. I move boxes around at my day job all day but I wouldn't call myself a logistician (although I should, because that sounds alpha as fetch)Haven't you published a book or two though? That would make you a writer.I'm definitely not good at either, so I'm voting that.
I'm truly neither.
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.
Then I was informed that at least getting your teeth pulled is over quickly and you're excused if you use drugs to numb the pain.
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
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.
Apparently, I have been declared banished.
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
