When a non-writer writes

I am not a writer. I am a non-writer who writes. Since I am a non-writer, any writing I do is a non-thing. Any time I spend writing, or reading to learn more writing, is time better spent “doing something”. If I were a writer, then time spent writing would be doing something, since the something I do would be writing.
Maybe if I become a writer, then time I spend reading, to learn more about writing, would still be time better spent doing something, like writing, since I would be a writer after all; I would be a writer so I would have to spend my time writing, not reading, since I wouldn’t be a reader, and reading wouldn’t be the something that I do.
