“I majored in journalism at Arizona State University, where I began writing the columns I write now, but I cannot, in good conscience, refer to myself as a writer. I'm a columnist, maybe a journalist, I guess I'm an author, but writer... no. That's not up to me to call myself, that's rather lofty. It's for the reader to decide.” WritingStatesReaderConscienceUniversityJournalismJournalistColumnsLoftyArizonaColumnists Author:Laurie Notaro
