Personally, I think the claimed proportion of time spent 'actualy [sic] writing' is unreasonably ambitious. From https://islandeditions.wordpress.co...ve-process-on-writing-and-reading-creatively/
Anyone recognise this?

Haha! The comma placement bit really got me. I am rubbish with punctuation, absolutely rubbish! If it showed a section for time spent procrastinating on the internet I'd say that chart was spot on!
"Why does it take so long to write a book?"
"Because half the time I'm not writing it."
"Why not?"
"Well, you know, cats on YouTube and stuff."

Totally wrong on every level I'd say. Also depends what the total time relates to, your awake hours? Time spend on title, well 5 - 10 minutes I'd say, cause I let the title come to me, I don't worry or stress over it. Time spent reading other books, would be the tiniest part for me (slack I know). I never shout at the computer, the dang thing might bite back if I did! Clearly this wasn't written (drawn) by an author, unless it was one really weird one! Ah well, at least it makes you think

Definitely needs a 'time spent on Twitter and/or Facebook' section. Or checking the news. For every little insignificant item....
