I tend to quote the late Robert A. Heinlein's rules for writing:
1. You must
write.
2. You must
finish what you write.
3. You must
submit what you have written to an editor who might
buy it.
4. You must
continue submitting until the work either sells or is bounced by every conceivable market.
5. You must
not make
changes in what you write unless an editor commits to
buy the work with those changes.
Most aspiring writers get stuck somewhere in the first three...
