As I've mentioned on a previous thread, getting attached the words once they appear on the page is something I have struggled with - and still do. So the advice not to get too attached hits pretty close to home.
In that sense my current project has been an interesting, and often frustrating, experience. Great chunks have been completely discarded, and a big part of the start has been through about three rewrite iterations as the story changed character underneath me. But one disquieting result of this is that I find it even more difficult to decide whether what I have is good enough (if it's so easily changed, why not keep changing). So it's the "too" part in "don't get too attached" that causes the most difficulty - because, at some point, you have to get attached enough to be content with what you have.
