Thought on being a writer v. an author

Interesting thought on the difference between being a writer and an author:

Sit down and put down everything that comes into your head and then you're a writer. But an author is one who can judge his own stuff's worth, without pity, and destroy most of it. -Colette, writer (1873-1954)
