Everyone's an Author: Is Everyone Really an Author?

To the question of, "Is Everyone an Author?" Yes everyone is an author in one way or another. However whether or not one realizes that they can be/are an author is a totally different story. In today's day and age you can easily be an author but as the book "Is Everyone an Author" mentions the line between Author and Writer is blurred in this day and age. Since anyone can write now days, whether it be in a blog, a short story or a post technically it's all writing hence why the line between author and writer is blurred as much as it is. The book also mentions that the internet is so powerful that what you write or post or share can circulate the globe faster than you can imagine. Today we have access to so much information at our fingertips it's constantly changing the way we learn about the world. So to me I believe that everyone can be an author. The question then becomes whether or not that the person has the audacity to pursuit that position. To me the difference between a writer and a author is a writer is someone who treats it as a job and it's pretty daily  while an author uses it only occasionally and doesn't do it extremely often.
