A rose by any other name

 I think of myself as a writer, though I've never been published.
 I sit in front of a computer for hours out of every day tapping away at the keys--but does this make me a writer?
I think about my characters while I'm mowing the lawn, cooking, cleaning the house, and driving my car. Still, I'm not sure I have a right to say I am a writer.
I'm curious whether it's offensive to those who actually make money from writing, when people like me claim to be writers.
Should I just say I'm a wannabe?
