Hmm, that's a shame. What am I going to do for another decade?




But really, it IS true that the important thing is to actually put words onto paper. And however awful you think it is at the time - I love nothing better than to go back and rework something I've already written. It's... satisfying.
Writing is all in the Rewriting - although I've no idea who it was that said that.
