Words for a writer to stop writing

Is there a word for or a common expression that describes when a writer has decided to stop writing? Think of a poet or a book writer who has decided to stop writing.

The author has decided to retired from writing.

The author has decided to stop writing again.

The author has decided to stop writing until she finds reasons.

The author has decided to seal her pen.”

These are the ways I can think of, but I wonder if there specific words/expression. In Chinese, I’d just write 封筆, in which the first word means “seal”, and the second word means “pen/pencil/calligraphy brush” (you get the point).

Try this expression.

"The author set down her pen."

You can definitely choose to add the words has decided to if you would like. Alternatively, you could substitute author with writer. This is entirely up to you, though.

Also, consider using the word hiatus. I don't have enough context, so I can't give any advice on how to use this word, but you might be able to work something out.

Rappers hang up their mic, superheroes, their cape, football players, their boots, and so on. Other examples include: fiddle, sword, gloves, etc.

Thus the construction hang up one's (item) is pretty easily understood.

By extension, a writer hangs up his pen. It might sound funny, because pens aren't usually hung.

Since dictionaries don't list each and every variation of a phrase, you'll have to depend on usage examples seen online.

An example from The Guardian.

Stephen King, the sultan of shock and one of the world's most successful, imitated and prolific authors, may finally be hanging up his pen, closing his laptop or doing whatever writers do when they decide they have nothing left they want to say. He has no desire, he says, to keep on writing for the sake of writing.
