WRITING: Having a _(blank)_ doesn’t make me a _(blank)_!

Interesting “finding” yesterday. I wanted to find a good sample of “concepts” to steal.

It was all around the meme: Having a _(blank)_ doesn’t make me a _(blank)_!

A friend (Yes, I have one! TYVM) said “You’re a writer, my friend”.

So I want to write a jaunty response like:

Having a book makes me no more a writer than … …

To which I drew a blank! All I could come up with was some lame ones.

> Having sold three copies doesn’t make me a writer.
> Having some Gold coins doesn’t makes me rich
> It’s as if having a Degree doesn’t makes me a Professional
> Having a Computer doesn’t makes me an Expert
> Having a Friend doesn’t makes me feel like I have a life.

I tried Google, but didn’t come up with any pithy witty rejoinders.

After I slept on it, I can add:

Having a child doesn’t make me a parent.
Having a kid doesn’t make me a goat.
Having a car doesn’t make me a driver.

Having a blog doesn’t make me any smarter, but it does expose my ignorance to 200 of my closest “friends” and spammers.
