Ketutar, are you daft? =P If someone does nothing but write, it also means that, besides Allison's totally valid comments about not tending to their own mental and physical health, they're not reading either, which means they're not doing any research for the bits of their books that need research. So even if they could write constantly without worrying about what their lack of movement does to their body, or what their constant concentration and pressure does to their mind, which most people can't, they still wouldn't be writing as well as they might. Good authors read widely, as well as writing.

That's one of the most profound sounding balls of BS I've ever heard :-D
