After I've started to write a little (fan fiction and only for the fun of it), I've learned so much about good - and bad - writing, that my patience with mediocre writing has diminished greatly, and I now have much more time for good writing (which I also appreciate much more). Most of the self-published I've sampled hasn't been worth my time. The little I've liked I felt could improve with editing. Good editing is a craft that's almost as valuable as good writing.
