There are for sure other kinds of thinking that are just as valuable as writing. No argument. 

Take someone who has decided to remodel their garage or their kitchen themselves. They will make a plan in their head, start working, realize that they have missed 100 details in their plan. They are also going to find other little things they would like to fix or improve. They are probably going to come up with ideas for other projects.

That’s all thinking.
