非作家
someone who is not a writer
Non-writers are always fascinated by the different processes that writers use when they are being creative.
As a non-writer, I have never understood how authors can just start writing with a blank screen or piece of paper in front of them. 作为一个不写作的人，我一直不明白作家怎么能在空白的屏幕面前或一张白纸上就开始写作。
