Am I a Writer?

Eclipse, Berkeley CA, 2012

I've made my living writing this and that (mostly travel, with some fiction thrown in) for a couple decades now, and I'm currently reading books on marketing Ebooks (self-published "Top 250 places to Sell and Market your Book Online", a book that looks as though it was printed directly from a website--lots of CAPS!! and EXCLAMATON POINTS!!--and would have benefited from an editor) and print publication marketing ("Publicize Your Book" by Jacqueline Deval, a classic), since publishers don't seem to do that anymore. So now the art and craft of writing requires that the writer morph into salesman.
I've also learned that I need to narrow in on what I'm selling before I can sell it, and the definitions are narrow indeed: Travel writer? Novelist? Photographer? Artist? I do all these things, and I don't want to limit myself. So what's the definition of that? I should take a lesson from Lady Gaga, and set out to be a "celebrity". Judging from the Kardashians, no evidence of talent is necessary.
I need to make up a name for myself, to make a name for myself--and to distinguish myself from the other millions of writers...(!).
Writing/photographing/drawing are all mediums; what I do is show people what I see.
Does that make me a "shower"? No that one's taken.
How about an Interpreter? No that one's taken, too.
Renaissance woman seems like overreaching a bit.
I'm also following the inspiring progress of my friend, therapist Jan Sells as she markets her non-fiction book "Lost and Found: Healing Troubled Teens in Troubled Times". She's put a lot of energy into getting her book in front of people and marketing her heart out. I'll hear more about her experiences in the next few weeks.
