I'd like to flip this around and say If you write, then you're a writer. You may get burnout and take a hiatus. You may be querying. You may have trouble finding time because of life getting in the way. That doesn't matter. Unless you choose to stop permanently, you're a writer.
I see the tips for writers thing here's my tip you're not a writer if you're not writing.
