Paraphrasing isn't that as simple as it might be. It might be just as easy as pie for some people, but some would have it as like walking into a park, a Jurassic Park that is.

So for a paraphrase of the given sentence, the paraphrase would be: "As she was writing, she had moments of thoughts between words and sentences."

Or

"She was, stuck in an interval, thinking as she was writing them down"

Or

"Occasionally stopping while she is writing is her thing"

and so on.
