In my own writing (such as it is), I find that putting down my thoughts too often means that when I go back and look at what I've written, the quality isn't very good. I have to sit and stew a while and write something carefully if I want it to stand up.

For very prolific authors, I wonder how much of their work is genuinely great and how much is just rephrasing something they'd written earlier or just uninteresting. I'm not sure I have enough time to read any to find out!
