What do writers do when they are not writing?

That's a question that might seem simple, but it is actually quite complex. It's a valid question, and one that's worth asking yourself. Because even though you may think of yourself as a writer first and foremost, there are many other aspects of life that should be taken into account. You see, many people believe that they only write and nothing else. That's just not true. Writers do other things too.

When I decided to become a writer, the main reason was so that I could spend my days sitting in front of a computer, with a cup of coffee, and staring at a blank document. The thought of it was so appealing to me that I didn’t even consider what it would be like to not be writing or what I would do if I wasn’t writing.

After spending a few years as a writer, I have come to realize that one of the most important skills for a writer is knowing what to do with your time when you are not writing. This may seem like an obvious thing but it is actually quite difficult.

First off, there are many different things that people can do when they are not writing. Some people will choose to read books while others might choose to listen to music or watch TV shows. There are also many different ways that these activities can be done; some people might prefer reading books while listening to music while others might prefer watching TV shows while listening to music.

I'm not alone in the fact that I have a hard time writing. For me, writer's block is more like writer's chain-link fence topped with barbed wire and guarded by a military police dog.

So, what do I do when I am NOT writing?

I garden. Gardening is the perfect antidote for writer's block because it requires no thinking about words or how to put them together. It does require some physical energy, but it's still very easy on your brain. You can get lost in the mindless work of weeding and watering and even pruning, which is strangely satisfying. And then you get to sit back and watch plants grow—and there is nothing more calming than watching something come to life, especially when you were involved in its creation.

And if you are lucky enough to have a garden that produces fruit or vegetables, you also get to eat what comes of it! There is nothing more delicious than fresh produce picked right from your own yard. It just tastes better. Plus, it makes you feel good to know exactly what kinds of chemicals are on (or not on) your food.

In conclusion

When writers aren't writing, they're probably thinking about writing. But they also like to do other things, too. Some of these things are more productive than others—but even when they're not working on their craft, most writers need some kind of creative outlet.

So, the answer to the question still depends on the writer. Some of us spend our time daydreaming about our next projects, while others might be thinking about how to make the best use of their time (and a good cup of coffee).

That's right—we do have lives outside of writing! We may be able to sit down in front of a computer for hours on end and just hammer out content, but that doesn't mean that we want to do that every day (or even most days).

I understand that there are other things in life besides writing, and I also understand that it's important to take some time away from the keyboard once in a while. Because no matter what else is going on in life, it's important for us to have some downtime. Downtime is good for us because it allows us to reflect on our work and recharge before diving back into it. This helps ensure that we're always ready to create new content and improve upon the things we've already done.

There is no right way or wrong way for how you should spend your time when you are not writing. The main thing is that you find something that works well for you and stick with it. Whatever works best for YOU!
