-> You're hiding behind an awfully big smoke screen with "professional
-> writing." Such a label obviously includes journal articles by scient
-> journalism, screenwriting, ad copy, and so on.

Banks, landlords and credit card companies take "technical writers" a
lot more seriously as good credit prospects than "professional writers"
or just plain "writers". If one doesn't specify technical writing, one
may just as well say "aspiring poet" and expect to pay cash and live
in the park.
