I don't think there's a binary of writers/non-writers. I think there's an energy threshold, above which people with an inclination to write would start doing so

I don't think there's a binary of writers/non-writers. I think there's an energy threshold, above which people with an inclination to write would start doing so.
If you took the average person, put them at a desk in a locked room with pen and paper, and left them there, they'd eventually write or draw something out of sheer boredom.
- fijiaarone 5y agoI don't think that's fair. Some people might do pushups or sing or fold origami or shoot spitballs instead.
- strken 5y agoGeneral point here is that the activation energy of a task gets lower the more bored you are. Even if the exact proportion of the population who'd write or draw is below 50% (which I don't think it is), the general point still stands.
