Hee! I shall try again to at least summarize my long comment of yesterday, then.
Basically, I don't mind wasting the time writing junk. What I don't want to do is waste the idea, because if it's an idea for something as time consuming as a novel, I'm already in love with it.
Plus it's hard for me to believe in the freedom of sucky first drafts when I know my track record for unsuckifying in rewrite is so limited. The better my salvage skills become, the more I'll be able to relax into the reality of "you can always fix it later." That's the hope, anyway.
