I think your premise is flawed.

I've never understood why you should do the same things in your free time as you do at work. I personally don't and know a ton of programmers and non-programmers who don't as well. Find other hobbys, they are worthwhile too!

I was thinking the same thing. Sounds like the OP wants to nurture their creativity and writing software just isn't scratching that itch.

I'd advise them to broaden their horizons. Take music lessons or a creative writing class or a welding class or drawing lessons. If there was a subject you wish you had more time for in college, maybe dig back into that.

Or maybe broaden your horizons a little more literally: take some time off and travel.
