Writing is not linearly productive. You can write something no one wants and spend months or years on it; it’s not wasted time. It’s time spent learning how to do things you’ll put into practice elsewhere, so long as you don’t get discouraged and stop.

Yes! Also: the value doesn't always come from external validation; writing can be valuable as a private effort to understand or explore with no audience but the self.

OH on that subject -- sometimes a lack of progress is progress. Sometimes I absolutely sit and stare at libreoffice and struggle and type out like three sentences and it takes me two hours. I then come back and blast through 2k words. It's not always equal, you have sticking points.

I'm trying to interest writers in something that may not be wanted for CENTURIES - I've speculated about writing it as Science Fiction, but... well, I'm not a writer. If YOU knew what Kepler knew – but you lived before Copernicus – what would YOU do with it...?
