“As a writer you should not judge. You should understand.” (Ernest Hemingway) It is to see many perspectives and put ourselves in different shoes' characters. It is to understand what it is to be a different person that we are in the reality and try everytime to increase our experiences to the world around us going through some empathetic approach. It is to travel from a mindset to another without being completely blind of who we are and what makes the power of emotions so transfigurative when we masterize the constructive creativeness flow of their passages.

They are multitask!
Generate ideas, seek ideas through other artistic forms and nature, observe their environment, travel, go to coffee's shops, embrace the struggles and begin with the hard part as they take care of their body and mind before writing, writing badly, repeat the task without being afraid to repeat the writing itself, do a lot of research, stay in touch with their employers, etc.

There are many dangers when you are a writer but not the kind of dangers you encountered when you are a military soldier, and you go to war. It is more likely to be health issues due to sitting all day. You cannot move when you write, so you can suffer from illnesses of sedentary lifestyle. Migraine causes by eye strain can be a problem if you fixed all day a computer lit screen. Writers are more at risks being depressed, suicidal or to suffer from mental illnesses due to a lack of social life. You tend to be solitary and isolate yourself and it is not helping to share love, solidarity, friendship: All you need to feel grounded. Also, you may lose your identity as you immerse yourself into one of your characters.
There is little chance that writers will be replaced soon by robots. Robots simply cannot reproduce the beauty of man's mind and especially imitate the imagination and the perception we used to understand the world that we live in. Creativity cannot be reproduced by AI, because our relationship with our environment and how we process emotions are distinctions of humans amongst other terrestrial animals. The fact that we can live the moment and appreciate what is around us as living beings are what makes us able to be unique in a way that a machine cannot be or apply to its automatic functions.
A writer never retired unless his death occurs. That is why many authors will be published after their death because their work could be unfinished and that is what we call posthumous work. Creativity never stops and as long as we can write, we will!
