No, a primary source is a contemporary account. To write it now creates a secondary source.
Primary sources (in history) are things such as documents produced at the time. A secondary source is something written later by a historian. Good examples of primary source documents are legal notices, letters, diaries, newspapers, maps, flags, important documents, clothes, and even furniture.

No, primary source a evidence originating from the actual time of the events. Primary sources are not necessarily correct, but they are current accounts rather than later speculation. An example is a poem about how Pericles' girlfriend Aspasia had one of her prostitutes abducted by some drunks from Megara, and attributes the Peloponnesian War to Pericles' retribution. Not necessarily completely true, but at least it is a composition by someone who was there, rather than someone speculating hundreds of years later.
