Everyone: What do u do
Me: *opens my dramatic 2am cellphone notes* I’m a writer actually

That is exactly what you should be saying. I’ve got a book on writing and there’s a section that reiterates this:

“Once you’ve started your [whatever you’re writing], if a friend or family member tells people you’re a writer, agree with him. Do not negate the statement by saying you’ve never been published, that you’ve just started, that you don’t have an agent, or that you’re not any good yet. If you keep telling people you’re not really a writer, your subconscious will start believing it.”

Keep saying you’re a writer. Who the fuck cares if all you’ve got is notes on a phone. You won’t get anywhere by denying it.
