Very beautifully expressed. My non-writing writing days are very important to me, but I think it has to be deliberate. That is, if you don't write because a bath tap leaked and you wasted hours dealing with a plumber, that's kind of frustrating even though it will all end up being grist to the mill. I like the advice of a Zen master called Suzuki: a Zen student must learn to waste time conscientiously.
