That's a pretty useless way of seeing things. You might as well define eating or going on the toilet as 'writing' since hey, they might be thinking about it while they're doing it. If you look at actual writers talking about when they write (https://www.gwern.net/Morning-writing https://www.gwern.net/Morning-writing) many of them are quite explicit about taking breaks to do other work like correspondence or family/friends in order to not think about writing.
