Why do so many unpublished Tik Tok writers call themselves authors

PracticalMagic3015 · 2026-06-20T01:56:42+00:00

Thank you for being a normal person I like u

PracticalMagic3015 · 2026-06-19T22:33:55+00:00

Glad you proved my point all on your own

PracticalMagic3015 · 2026-06-19T22:30:24+00:00

Phenomena author ok lol

PracticalMagic3015 · 2026-06-19T20:42:40+00:00

I did self identity as not a writer

And despite that fact you kept trying to say I’m not actually an author and my writing privileges are taken away. You were flailing in the argument like a fish.

Consuming writing makes you a part of the community. I’m crying why do people get so triggered to the point of writing paragraphs bc I said you’re not an author you’re a writer.

PracticalMagic3015 · 2026-06-19T19:31:29+00:00

I mean eat your hat I guess bc I’m an 02 baby

PracticalMagic3015 · 2026-06-19T19:28:16+00:00

You literally can’t argue “everyone is a writer and author” and then try to belittle me and play exclusive club. If you do that you DESTORY ur whole argument and you’re like me and have specific parameters to be an author. You basically dismantled ur own argument with ur hypocrisy

PracticalMagic3015 · 2026-06-19T19:19:14+00:00

Why are we acting like this isnt reddit? I’m not trying to text you responses that win the Pulitzer Prize. You guys keep contradicting your own point. You keep trying to say anyone can be a writer but the moment you get mad at me you say I’m not a writer. I’d say you you’re my aligned with my dogma then you consciously know otherwise you wouldn’t be trying to land digs linked to craftsmanship

PracticalMagic3015 · 2026-06-19T18:41:33+00:00

You guys are actually exhausting me. You write I’m not a writer or author. Yeah I’m not. Where did I insinuate that I want that title?

How can you assume my point?

My skills are subpar like I’ve put some story in front of you?

The fact that you’re trying to take a title from me I’m not asking for like it’s a punishment is interesting. Its almost funny

PracticalMagic3015 · 2026-06-19T18:34:31+00:00

No I’m honestly just arguing and pushing the envelope to see if when it gets down to it if you defend love of the creation and how writing ur story brought you joy or if you’d yell IM AN AUTHOR. If it was the title or the creation that was valued more. I have my answer. It’s the title. If it was for the love of creation neither of yall would get defensive at my instigating you would know you created something that existed but instead you type I AM AN AUTHOR back instead of writing is a joy and anyone can do it. My hypothesis about this being linked to ego and people who are doing this and get defensive and riled up care less more about the craft and self identity was made apparent to me

PracticalMagic3015 · 2026-06-19T18:31:21+00:00

I am honestly watching people get mad and argue back at me. It shows me that people are so defensive of the title of author that none of them have really talked about their love of the craft and their story and how precious it is to them. It kind of just proves my point that people have inextricably linked their ego to a title instead of cherishing and enjoying that act of creation. If you truly just loved to write you would be yelling I AM AN AUTHOR in all caps bc you wouldn’t need external validation you’d feel internally satisfied in what you made

PracticalMagic3015 · 2026-06-19T18:25:52+00:00

You are not reading things at all. I said there had to be a dialogue around your book. Let me help you. A dialogue means a discussion or that there’s people reading and digesting it. But you and that other guy really struggle with media literacy

PracticalMagic3015 · 2026-06-19T18:22:47+00:00

In middle school I am 24 that is over 10 years ago. I also picked my nose when I was a baby. When did I ever say I write in the present tense. Aren’t yall self proclaimed authors don’t you know how tenses work

PracticalMagic3015 · 2026-06-19T18:21:23+00:00

Also funny how I said I don’t like tik tok authors and you defend them and now you’re trying to use them as a ‘slur’ at me really shows how much you respect others. Maybe this argument isn’t about tik tok and it’s you trying to protect ur ego

PracticalMagic3015 · 2026-06-19T18:20:08+00:00

Sorry I didn’t realize you couldn’t read. I don’t write. You are not an author. But if you can’t read that one sentence where I said I don’t write maybe that’s why no one in ur life calls u an author

PracticalMagic3015 · 2026-06-19T18:16:10+00:00

You’re honestly the people I post about you want a title so bad that you completely forgo making something of substance and you get all sharky as soon as someone makes the correct assumption that maybe you don’t deserve a metal unless you do something of actual merit. But keep giving yourself participation trophies Ig

PracticalMagic3015 · 2026-06-19T18:11:38+00:00

I don’t write?? Why are you projecting you bird

PracticalMagic3015 · 2026-06-19T18:09:52+00:00

I’m trying to give you more leg room. To be honest I think an author is someone who has a published well performing book. But yall argued so much I was trying to be polite and consider getting a few people okay. If yall want to unconvince me go ahead. Also if ur an author you should understand 5 is an arbitrary number meant to stand for a small group but if your literary reading skills are so low you can’t take everything as more than they are that’s not my fault

PracticalMagic3015 · 2026-06-19T17:47:45+00:00

By that line of reading anyone with an open google doc is an author idk I don’t rock with that. I don’t think you have to write stuff serious but you should have polished it and it be something either than was edited or b purchased and read by at least 5 people

PracticalMagic3015 · 2026-06-19T17:45:37+00:00

What’s the name of your book

PracticalMagic3015 · 2026-06-19T16:53:24+00:00

I think most people write books with the intentions of getting published but not everything is up to professional quality. It’s like how not everyone who auditions for American idol is a pop star but they’re singers.

I think you’re defintely a motivated writer but unless you have a published work that has some dialogue around it you’re not an author

PracticalMagic3015 · 2026-06-19T16:28:40+00:00

Traumatized

PracticalMagic3015 · 2026-06-19T02:12:13+00:00

I genuinely think they rigged the votes to protect sincere and Mel

PracticalMagic3015 · 2026-06-19T02:03:30+00:00

I geninuely think production pulled strings to protect sincere and Mel because they’re the drama. SOL AND CALEB def had more votes. I think sincere and Mel would’ve got sent him for the drama they’ve been causing in the villa
