What else do writers do?

For the last year or so I have been writing every day. Sometimes it is only a sentence, sometimes it is several hours of plugging away. For the last two weeks I have been writing but most of my time has been given over to other writing chores.
I am preparing a presentation on writing historicals which keeps getting longer and longer. I will have to cut it back for an hour long session soon. But getting all those ideas down on paper is freeing.
I have been reading books by members of the panel I will be moderating. Three to go. I don’t even own them yet, so I will have to stop at a book store on the way home from work.
I braved possible snow to join a bunch of writers at a book store presentation. Our work was joined at the hip in an anthology of mystery stories.
I am working on a suspense story that has to be under 1000 words. I have not picked it up for about a week. I must get back to that tomorrow.
