What type of writer do you want to be?
I think it would be fun to write scripts, besides writing novels. Maybe write a script based on a novel I write? :D

Would you consider a theologian (writer of theology) or a pastor (sermon writer) to be a certain kind of writer, or would they both fall under the category of "non-fiction writer?"
Interesting post either way
I think a theologian could be considered an academic writer, possibly, and same with a pastor. The sorts of things they write I would consider to be very much like an essay. However, if a pastor is just writing out an outline, and not the entire sermon (like they used to do in Jonathan Edwards' time), I'm not sure what they would be. While they would be writing, I don't know what type of writing it would be, since it's not writing anything past an outline/notes. I've never really thought of them as non-fiction writers, but that could be a possibility too. I think they could almost get their own class of writers, but I don't know what they would be called. :)
Thanks for your comment!
