The main reason I said what I said is not that I don't believe in the usefulness of just getting something, anything, down on paper. Ellen Kushner advises her students to write "cookie dough drafts," and not to let the inner critic cause you to freeze when something you write feels like it doesn't work. But my point is that if you go into a project thinking you can afford to be lazy or sloppy, you'll probably end up doing a lot more work in the end.
