That might apply to novelists, but if academics spent all that time writing, when would they do the work their papers are about? Most of their time goes into research, data gathering, experimental design, performing experiments, teaching, managing grad students' work, etc, and then at some point they finally write up their results. Even novelists often spend a lot of time researching so their stories will sound real. Maybe this person is talking about influencers.
