I cant comprehend this sentence !

Hi friends !

Would you please paraphrase this sentence for me . somehow I just dont get the full meaning :

George orwell's jobs between leaving school and 1939 -serviece in Burma , working in a bookshop , keeping a pub and a grocer's shop - made none of the extraliterary demands that so often waste or exhaust a writer's creative impulse .

Thanks in advance ! [L]

The "side jobs" he persued during that time were not the sorts of things that sometimes make writers feel that they simply don't want to write. I think the implication is that some "side jobs" draw on the worker's creative talents, using up his desire to create. "

"Extraliterary" means "other than literary."
