I would like to ask for an opinion: if I say were reading and/or working through a (activity(?)) book of sorts about mindfulness given how an objective of mindfulness is to 'sublimate' anxiety how recommendable would it be, if 'around the same time' I were say 'trying to write a horror story' and/or say researching/reading up on literary theory related to the horror genre, with an assumption that whatever isn't 'settled' by mindfulness can be expressed through fiction writing?.

Would it be counterproductive,nullify my efforts with mindfulness, 'a distraction' or..?.

Responses would be appreciated.
