We all know the jokes/stories of people being actors, but never having gotten a part in anything. If at a party and asked what they do, they answer that they are an actor. Then they are asked if they have been in anything or what they have been in.
If someone considered theirself an author it is not up to me to argue with their perception.
Really? No matter how deluded a person is, you'll just accept his self-perception? There's no objective standard to judge by?
