I tell my students to try to write every day or on a set schedule until they get past the starting hurdles and write on whatever a regular writing schedule is for him/her.
I do think pushing past instead of stopping or fiddling is the way to go. I also believe you should have a complete draft before you do any major revision. I do get that that poster was saying you shouldn't be guilty if you don't do things this way and that I agree with.
I do not think all books should be "released" because there are always still born ms's.
And I think all writers should read and fiction. The "I'm to good for it now that I'm published" attitude seriously pissed me off. I read books I'm not entirely happy with or stop reading them. But there are a lot of wonderful books who keep teaching me. And it leaves a bad taste in my mouth when I hear from other writers who are "too critical" to read much anymore.
