Of most activities a person can do writing seems the easiest. With computers it seems even easier than it without. A simple word processing software and a powered up device and you can lay down one word next to the other. Yet, as far as relaxing goes, perhaps writing should not be engaged in. Not as a hobby. A most apt description of writing is that you sit down at a typewriter and bleed. That it's easy. Hemingway had it write. Maybe the continue inner push to writing is the feeling after the bleeding stopped. It's a relieve. Enormously so.
Yes, for those who want to relax by blood letting...go ahead - write. There's more to it, but sometimes that's all there is to it.
