It's a good question to ask, but is there a really specific answer to that question? If writing is something you are compelled to do, does that make you a specific kind of writer, or any type of writer at all, or someone who just needs to spill their guts out onto the universe's dump heap.
I believe the essence of being a functional human being, is to have an outlet for creativity that ends out being a unique personal expression. That is how I can paint, write, sing (in a monotone), dance (with no beat and no pattern), and create an art form (dancing with the ocean's waves in the Bahamas).
The part that makes this a personal expression has to do with answering the most important question I have been asked: "How do you want to be?" There are so many answers to this, I have created a log book that I carry around in my car, every moment of every day is an answer to that question and I continue to write. Sometimes it is just one word over and over again, "calm." Many times the words "loving" and "receptive" come up. At any rate they are all there and there are more to come.
