Of course I can, I'm not an idiot!

Just because you can walk doesn't mean you can run the Boston Marathon.

It's a metaphor. In other words, just because you can write doesn't mean you're as good as Stephen King.

But of course that doesn't mean you can't practice and get better!

Writing is a gift you either have or don't have it.

You don't practice writing.

Huh? I've learnt a lot just by getting feedback, I'm much better than when I was when I started.

You don't practice writing.

Not true at all. Of course some people have natural flair but everyone can improve with good instruction, practice and constructive criticism.
