"Since I don't write for a living, I can afford to be picky
about what I show to others."
 
Well that just about puts those of us who earn a living through their writing into perspective.  As a journalist I always think that most people believe we are just filling in the spaces between the adverts with trivia. 
 
But as someone who also often listens to this argument from students I find a really solid deadline works wonders on a persons writing ability.  The quality of a piece is something I find emerges in the rewrites and the editing and I don't think blocks of any sort stop that process.
